What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a very common disease among men. It can cause certain harm to the male body and requires our attention and active treatment. Prostatitis has many symptoms when it occurs. Patients will experience pelvic and sacral pain, urination disorders, and urgency and frequency of urination. When this happens, timely treatment is needed. Let’s take a look at the main symptoms of prostatitis.

There are many types of prostatitis. Acute prostatitis, chronic prostatitis, etc. are very common. Different classifications of the disease have different manifestations. We need to take targeted treatments based on our condition.

Symptoms of prostatitis? Regardless of the type, chronic prostatitis can present similar clinical symptoms, collectively known as prostatitis syndrome, including pelvic pain, urination disturbances and sexual dysfunction. The manifestations of pelvic and sacral pain are extremely complex. The pain is generally located above the pubic bone, lumbosacral region, and perineum. Radiating pain can manifest as pain in the urethra, spermatic cord, testicles, groin, and medial abdomen. It radiates to the abdomen, similar to acute abdomen, and radiates along the urinary tract, similar to renal colic, which often leads to misdiagnosis. Symptoms of urination disturbance include frequent urination, urgency, pain when urinating, difficulty urinating, forked urine stream, dripping after urination, increased number of urinations at night, and milky white discharge from the urethra after urination or during defecation. Occasionally, sexual dysfunction occurs, including decreased libido, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, weakened erections, and impotence. The above symptoms may be caused by prostatitis or other diseases of the urogenital tract.

First, a clinical assessment should be conducted to determine the type of disease and select a treatment method based on the cause. Psychological therapy and regulation of sexual life should be carried out throughout the entire treatment process. A misunderstanding of the disease, unnecessary anxiety, and excessive abstinence can make symptoms worse. Prostatitis may be a disease with mild or no symptoms, a self-limiting disease that can resolve on its own, or a disease with complex symptoms that leads to urinary tract infection, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and greatly reduced quality of life. The treatment of patients should avoid exaggerating the harmfulness of the disease to the patients, and should also avoid taking a simple, negative, and blind attitude towards antibiotic treatment. We should start with the cause of the disease and carry out comprehensive treatment.

The above content is an introduction to the symptoms of prostatitis. I hope it can be of some help to you. Any disease will have certain symptoms when it occurs. We must promptly detect physical discomfort, conduct examinations and treatments in a timely manner to better ensure physical health. Many people do not pay attention to prostatitis, which will cause hidden dangers to the body and needs to be taken seriously.
