What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

The syndrome usually affects men between 18 and 50 years old. The symptoms may be constant, or they may come and go.

Usually there is a combination of irritative and obstructive problems with urination. Irritative symptoms are the need to urinate often, an urgent need to urinate, and nocturia, or having to get up at night to urinate. Obstructive symptoms include a weak force of stream and hesitant urine flow. Most men have some pain behind or in the scrotum, over the bladder, or in the urethra. Sometimes pain also occurs in the lower back.
