Symptoms of prostatitis in men

Prostatitis is a disease that men are prone to, and it is very harmful to men's health. When prostatitis first occurs, it is mainly acute prostatitis. At this time, timely treatment can prevent prostatitis from turning into a chronic disease. It is very important to understand the symptoms of prostatitis. So, what are the symptoms of prostatitis in men? Let's take a look below.

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, which is 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, thighs, rectum, etc. can all be affected. It should be pointed out that the low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is in the lower back, which is easy to be confused with low back pain caused by orthopedics 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, and can be identified as a symptom of prostatitis.

4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can cause loss of libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and 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.

Daily health care for men with prostatitis

1. Adhere to the treatment and do not change the medicine or treatment method at will during the treatment period, because the relief of symptoms often takes a period of time. Early treatment should be maintained for more than 2 weeks, and some infections need 8 to 12 weeks. If the medicine is changed at will, it is easy to cause bacterial flora imbalance or drug resistance, resulting in incomplete treatment.

2. Have regular sex life, cannot hold back ejaculation, do not masturbate frequently, and avoid unclean sexual intercourse.

3. Correctly understand prostatitis, maintain a good attitude, and reduce psychological pressure to avoid exaggerating symptoms and causing dizziness, memory loss, anxiety, suspicion, insomnia and other symptoms.

4. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, keep bowel movements smooth, and insist on hot water sitz baths or hot water bags for the perineum.

5. Avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy food.

6. Avoid sitting for long periods of time, avoid riding a bicycle for long periods of time, insist on exercising, preferably jogging and more lower body exercises, and avoid strenuous exercise.
