That said, prostatitis itself is NOT associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer or testicular cancer. How is prostatitis diagnosed? Back to top Diagnosis of prostatitis begins with a complete medical history and physical examination. A thorough genital urinary exam is required including scrotal, perineal and rectal examination. The doctor performs a digital rectal exam (DRE) by inserting a gloved and lubricated finger into the patient’s rectum, just behind the prostate. The doctor can feel the prostate to see if it is swollen or tender in spots. Other tests that can diagnose prostatitis include: Urinalysis, to help distinguish the types of prostatitis and which type of antibiotics should be used

Blood tests, looking for white blood cells and bacteria suggesting infection

PSA blood test checking levels of prostate surface antigen, which can indicate an inflamed prostate as well as prostate cancer especially when recurrent symptoms refractory to antibiotics occur

Imaging may include ultrasound, X-ray, and computerized tomography (CT)

Men have urinary tract infections that seem to go away but then come back with the same bacteria. Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome is the most common but least understood form of prostatitis. It may be found in men of any age. Its symptoms go away and then return without warning, and it may be inflammatory or non-inflammatory.

In the non-inflammatory form, not even the infection-fighting cells are present.

Doctors usually find this form of prostatitis when looking for causes of infertility or testing for prostate cancer.
