What are the manifestations and symptoms of prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a relatively common men's disease, and its prevalence is gradually increasing. Therefore, understanding the relevant symptoms of prostatitis will help detect the disease. So what are the general symptoms of prostatitis?

Symptom 1 of prostatitis: Discomfort when urinating

Prostatitis can cause discomfort during defecation because the inflammation stimulates the bladder. For example, there will be frequent urination, burning and pain in the urethra when urinating, and the pain will radiate to the head of the penis. When you get up in the morning, you may find sticky secretions in the urethra, and you may also have difficulty urinating. The treatment of chronic prostatitis must be timely. Once symptoms are found, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid delaying treatment.

Symptom 2 of prostatitis: Radiating pain

The pain symptoms of chronic prostatitis are not limited to the urethra and perineum, but radiate to the adjacent tissues, among which the lower back pain is the most common. In addition, the testicles, scrotum, penis, spermatic cord, inguinal area, lower abdomen, thigh root, thigh, rectum, etc. can all be affected. It should be noted that the low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is generally in the lower back, which is easy to confuse with low back pain caused by orthopedic reasons such as lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mainly in the belt, which is slightly higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis, so it can be distinguished.

Symptom 3 of prostatitis: sexual dysfunction

Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, etc., and affect the quality of semen. White discharge may appear from the urethra after urination or defecation. If prostatitis is combined with seminal vesiculitis, blood in semen may also appear. To treat chronic prostatitis, you must go to a regular medical institution for diagnosis and treatment in a timely manner.

Prostatitis manifestation 4: local symptoms

There will be a distended discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum and anus, and the distended pain will be aggravated after squatting, defecation and sitting for a long time. Chronic prostatitis may cause neurasthenia, with complications such as dizziness, fatigue, and insomnia. Long-term chronic prostatitis can even cause various pathological reactions in the body, such as arthritis, conjunctivitis and other lesions.
