Clinically, prostatitis is divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis, with different symptoms and hazards. If acute prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can become a chronic disease, and the symptoms and treatment methods will be more complex.
Symptoms and manifestations of prostatitis:
1. Discomfort in urination: Bladder irritation can occur, such as frequent urination, urgency in urination, yellowing of urine, burning and pain of the urethra during urination, and radiation to the head of the penis. In the early morning, there may be secretions such as mucus at the urethral orifice, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty urinating.
2. Local symptoms: discomfort of falling and swelling of the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus, aggravation of squatting, defecation, and prolonged sitting on chairs and stools.
3. Radiation pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates into the vicinity. The following types of low back pain are most common. In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicular scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal region (thigh root), thigh, rectum, and other places can be affected. It should be pointed out that low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is easily confused with orthopedic low back pain such as myofascitis and lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mostly located near the belting area, which is higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis and can be distinguished.
4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause decreased libido and pain in ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. After urination or during defecation, it can also cause white discharge from the urethral orifice, and when combined with seminal vesiculitis, it can cause blood semen.
5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis can be associated with neurasthenia, exhibiting fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc; Long lasting prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions in the body, including conjunctivitis, arthritis, and other diseases.
