go to any doctor you choose, even if they dont specialize in that field they can refer you. anythings possible. But just because you have symptoms doesnt mean you automaticly have it, so dont freak.

no, I very much doubt it at your age, but if you are concern you can find a natural care doctor to see you. source below.

Prostate cancer primarily affects men over 50. That's not saying it's impossible for a 14 year old, but it's very, very unlikely... especially since symptoms are slow to appear, and may be non-existent in early stages of the disease (as in you can have it for years and not see any symptoms). It's more likely you have a bladder infection, or some other UTI issue, if you're seeing similar symptoms. Have your parents make an appointment with your pediatrician.

Matthew- NO, you do NOT have prostate cancer. You should have mentioned what symptoms you have. IF you are still a virgin, then the most likely problem is a urinary tract (bladder) infection which most people get at some time(s) in their life. This causes burning when you pee and frequent urinating. IF you have been sexually active in the past two weeks, then another possibility is an infection with the sexually transmitted gonorrhea, which produces a yellowish-white pus-like discharge from the penis.. Both are caused by different bacteria that can easily be diagnosed by simple testing in the doctor's office and cured completely with the proper antibiotic. If not treated right, either infection could progress to cause worse problems. PLEASE take care NOW!

That's the problem with reading up on disease symptoms - suddenly you have them all and you're at death's door. Men under 50 are rarely diagnosed with prostate cancer; more than half of those diagnosed are over 75. And it would usually be symptom-free in the early stages. It is extremely unlikely that you have prostate cancer. If your symptoms - you don't say which ones you have - persist for a week or two, see your family doctor.
