Prostatic abscess has become less common, is now usually related to urinary tract infection, and is a rare cause of urethral discharge. The case is described of a man with prostatic abscesses caused by Staphylococcus aureus possibly related to recent skin abrasions. Transrectal ultrasound was used to make the diagnosis and to facilitate repeated drainage with a successful outcome.
