Can prostatitis cause high anxiety?

by Symptom Advice on February 7, 2011

I was recently diagnosed with a mild case of prostatitis that I took a 10-day prescription of antibiotics to rid, but now on the 11th day, no results. the problem is this, i still have some symptoms of prostatitis (urinary retention, pain at the tip of the penis) but it seems to get a lot worse whenever I'm on public transit. I get extremely anxious whenever I get on public transportation because I feel like I could pee myself at any moment, and I distinctly remember the first time it started was on the bus on the way to the airport. I can't figure out if it's high anxiety causing the urinating feeling while i'm on the bus, or if it's prostatitis causing high anxiety. any and all thoughts are helpful.
