In the early morning, there may be secretions such as mucus at the urethral opening, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

2. Local symptoms: a feeling of heaviness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus. The pain and distension will be aggravated when squatting, defecating or sitting on a chair for a long time.

In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicles and scrotum, lower abdomen, groin area (thigh root), thigh, rectum, etc. may be affected.

4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, etc. It can also affect the quality of semen. White discharge from the urethra may occur after urination or defecation, and hematospermia may occur when combined with seminal vesiculitis.
