Is this still Prostatitis?

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with prostatitis 2 years ago. I was treated with
antibiotics which appeared to help. I've occasionally felt prostatitis
symptoms since, but they have come and gone.

I have very pronounced symptoms right now, and would appreciate if any
of you think it sounds like it's still prostatitis:

- burning pain in my right abdomen and urethra when urinating
- pain in the rectum
- pain in the testicles

Is there any other condition that could account for this?

Thanks,

Paul
