What are the early symptoms of prostatitis?

It is difficult to pay attention to the early symptoms of most prostatitis patients because most of them do not have any symptoms and the symptoms progress relatively slowly. Therefore, it is best for patients to go to the hospital for regular check-ups so that they can know their condition as soon as possible and get good treatment. Let us now understand what the early symptoms of prostatitis are.

Symptom 1: Pain. There is a burning and ant-like sensation in the posterior urethra, and the pain in the perineum and anus may radiate to the lumbar sacral region, groin, suprapubic region, penis, testicles, etc., and occasionally to the abdomen.

Symptom 2: Urinary system symptoms. Acute prostatitis affects the urethra, and the patient has mild urinary frequency, urgency, and pain when urinating. Some patients may also have hematuria. Mucus or purulent secretions may be discharged from the urethra before urination in the early morning or during defecation.

Symptom 3: Sexual dysfunction. Acute prostatitis can cause symptoms such as decreased libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and increased frequency of spermatorrhea. Some patients may have hematospermia or reduced sperm motility due to inflammation of the vas deferens, leading to infertility.

Symptom 4: Neurasthenia. Because patients lack a correct understanding of acute prostatitis or have not been cured for a long time, they may experience depression, fatigue, insomnia, etc.

Symptom 5: Secondary symptoms. Due to the allergic reaction caused by bacterial toxins, conjunctivitis, iritis, arthritis, neuritis, etc. may occur.

There are four specific manifestations of early symptoms of prostatitis:
