Overview
If left untreated, patients with acute bacterial prostatitis may progress to develop prostatic abscess, septicemia, urosepsis, and urinary retention.[1][2] Patients with untreated chronic prostatitis may develop chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction, infertility, urinary frequency and urgency, and recurrent urinary tract infections.[2][3]
Natural history
If left untreated, patients with acute bacterial prostatitis may progress to develop:[1][2]
- Prostatic abscess
- Septicemia
- Urosepsis
- Urinary retention
If left untreated, patients with chronic prostatitis may progress to develop:[2][3]
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Sexual dysfunction
- Infertility
- Difficulty in urinating: frequency, urgency, dysuria
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
Complications
Common complications of prostatitis include[2]:[3]
- Urinary retention
- Sepsis
