Brief Answer:
not prostate cancer
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
From the history you have given it looks like you are suffering from urinary tract infection which is easily treatable with antibiotics. Prostate cancer patients will typically have difficulty in passing urine, blood stained urine and also flank pain.
I have the following suggestions for you
1. Get a urine culture and urine routine test to know which organism is growing
2. Get an ultrasound abdomen to rule out kidney stones. This is a common cause for uti.
3. drink Atleast 8 glasses of water with frequent voiding of urine
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
not prostate cancer

I am sorry if I used medical terminology not familiar to you.
1. Flank pain means pain the in the sides of the lower back where the kidneys are present.
2. Whenever there is an infection, different organisms can be involved. By doing a culture, one can know which organism is involved and treat accordingly with appropriate antibiotics
