http://health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/prostatitis-nonbacterial/overview.htmlI offer my advice take it or leave it for prostatitis sufferers
my advice do your home work. print up papers, do research of your symptoms and present your case to your doctor. going before a doctor with out papers and evidence for your case. would be like a lawyer coming to court with no papers and evidence judge will kick him out. doctors are the same way, they want to dismiss everything you say as a lie. far as your doctor is concerned your just another hypochondriac making up bullsh*t to get attention.
