Prostate inflammation can either be infectious or non-infectious and may result in symptoms such as pelvic pain, discomfort in the lower back, and irritative voiding symptoms. Prostate enlargement, on the other hand, is a mechanical issue that can block the tunnel through which urine passes, causing the urinary stream to slow down, urgency, leakage, and more frequent urination at night. While these two conditions may seem related, they are actually two separate entities that sometimes cross paths but often do not.
