What are the symptoms of prostatitis in men? What are their differences?

Prostatitis is a relatively common male disease. Many men easily overlook it because they are not aware of the symptoms. So what are the common symptoms of prostatitis?

1. Urinary tract irritation symptoms

This is an early symptom of prostatitis caused by inflammation of the bladder triangle or cystitis. The early symptoms of prostatitis are burning and stinging sensation in the urethra, frequent urination, and urgency. At the end of urination, the bladder neck contracts violently, which can cause pain.

2. Urinary incontinence

This is also an early symptom of prostatitis. When the sphincter loses its control ability, urine flows out involuntarily at any time, which is called urinary incontinence. Unlike other urinary incontinence, this type of patient still has a large amount of residual urine in the bladder while incontinence.

3. Perineum pain

Discomfort, heaviness, and swelling in the perineum, as well as tingling or severe pain, are early symptoms of prostatitis. The pain may radiate to the lower back, penis, suprapubic area, and inner thigh. The pain may intensify during bowel movements or cause pain in the rectum. This is mainly due to the stimulation of the nerves in the pelvic cavity during the early symptoms of prostatitis.

4. Weak urination

This is also caused by the loss of the compensatory ability of the bladder detrusor muscle when the prostate is diseased. The early symptoms of prostatitis are that the urine cannot be discharged immediately during urination, and it takes a while to gradually exert force before the urine can be discharged. The early symptoms of prostatitis can also be manifested as prolonged urination time, shorter range, thinner urine stream, etc.
