Is lower abdominal pain prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling unwell lately. Is the lower abdominal pain prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Abdominal bloating pain is not necessarily prostatitis. Prostatitis usually causes perineal bloating pain. If abdominal bloating pain recurs, it is necessary to pay attention to whether it may be urethritis or cystitis. Diagnosis generally requires a routine urine test and a careful ultrasound examination. Whether it is prostatitis can be determined through a prostatic fluid test. If it is prostatitis, there is usually frequent urination and urgency, along with perineal bloating pain.
