I have been having symptoms of prostatitis and was told that those symptoms are the same for cancer. Is this true? I have a clear discharge after urination and pain at the base of my penis. I have also experienced shooting sharp pains down my penis and dull pain in my testicles, rectum.

In view of your age both conditions are possible, get psa test done in lab if it is normal you can safely presume to be free from cancer prostate. Get also prostatic fluid examined for culture/ sensitivity and use appropriate antibiotics. My suggestion is to see a qualified urologist at the earliest.
