HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The burning may be due to the prostatic disease itself but may also indicate a urinary tract infection.
This would need to be ruled out by a urine test at your doctor's office. Urine may also need to be sent to the lab for further analysis to identify the specific bacteria
If an infection is detected then antibiotics would be needed along with using a lot of fluids.
I hope this helps
