What are the symptoms of prolactinitis?

Prostatitis is a common disease in men. There are many causes of prostatitis, which often lead to a variety of symptoms, such as discomfort during urination, frequent urination, urgency and pain, often causing a bloating in the perineum, and sometimes radiating pain. Another obvious symptom of prostatitis is that it can cause sexual dysfunction in men, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation, etc.

What are the symptoms of prolactinitis?

1. Urinary discomfort: Bladder irritation symptoms may occur, such as frequent urination, burning and pain in the urethra during urination, and radiating to the glans penis. There may be mucus and other secretions in the urethra in the early morning, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty in urination.

2. Local symptoms: Distension and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus. The bloating and pain will be aggravated by squatting, defecation and sitting on a chair for a long time.

3. Radiating pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to the vicinity, with lower back pain being the most common. In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicles and scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal area (thigh root), thigh, rectum, etc. can all 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.

5. Other symptoms: Chronic prostatitis may be accompanied by neurasthenia, manifested by fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, etc. Long-term persistent prostatitis may even cause allergic reactions in the body, resulting in conjunctivitis, arthritis and other lesions.

6. The low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is easily confused with the low back pain due to orthopedic reasons, such as myofasciitis and lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mostly near the beltline, which is higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis.

How does prostatitis cause male infertility?

1. Reduce sperm motility. Prostatic fluid is a necessary condition for sperm survival because the enzymes, lecithin and trace elements contained in it can provide energy and nutrition to sperm. When the disease occurs, the secretion of these nutrients decreases and sperm motility also decreases.

2. Anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation. Prostatitis may lead to anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation, which prevents sperm from entering the vagina and leads to infertility.

3. Increased acidic substances: The acidic substances in the patient's body increase, which increases the acidity of semen, making it unsuitable for sperm survival and leading to reduced sperm motility.

4. The semen liquefaction process of patients will be affected, which will reduce the sperm motility and lead to infertility.

5. Effects of bacterial toxins: Pathogenic microorganisms and bacterial toxins contained in the prostatic fluid of patients with prostatitis can directly kill sperm after entering the semen, resulting in dead sperm, deformed sperm, decreased sperm motility, production of antisperm antibodies, decreased sperm apical enzyme activity, and ultimately leading to male infertility.
