What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common male disease. Many men are troubled by prostate problems, which has a great impact on their daily life and work. Most men lack knowledge about prostatitis, and as a result, the condition has become very serious by the time they pay attention to it, making treatment much more difficult. In fact, if you can understand some of the symptoms of prostatitis, you can detect it early and treat it early, and the condition will not get worse.

What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

1. Frequent urination and incomplete urination

This symptom is one of the most typical symptoms of prostatitis. If you experience sudden stinging or burning sensations when you go to the toilet, and your urination speed increases, and your urination becomes more frequent, and you want to go to the toilet again after a while every time you go to the toilet, then it can be basically determined that you have prostatitis.

2. Pain in the perineum

If you have prostatitis, the inflammation may cause a heaviness and pain in your lower abdomen and perineum. Although this condition is not very serious, if the inflammation spreads over a large area or occurs on the inner thigh, then the condition cannot be ignored.

3. Weak urination

On the one hand, prostatitis can cause us a lot of pain, and on the other hand, the bladder muscles can also be damaged, which may trigger symptoms of urinary incontinence. In this way, urination will become very difficult for the patient.

4. Urinary incontinence

This condition is a complication of prostatitis. If the inflammation spreads to a large area, it will cause the sphincter to lose its function, so we will not be able to control urine.

How to identify prostatitis

1. Urinary disorders: In the early stages of the disease, prostatitis will affect the normal urination of men. The symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, pain, incomplete urination or difficulty urinating. Therefore, you must be alert when you find it. Sometimes at the end of urination, there is also white discharge from the urethra.

2. Radiating pain: This symptom is easily overlooked, but it is also a method of identification. The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum, but also radiates to the vicinity, and is often seen as low back pain. In addition, the penis, testicles and scrotum, lower abdomen, thighs, rectum, etc. can all be affected.

3. Local pain: usually pain in the lower abdomen bladder area, pubic area or perineum area, and in severe cases, it may radiate to the thigh root. Occasionally, some patients experience abdominal distension, and some patients experience testicular discomfort or cramping.

4. Physical abnormalities: In the early stages of the disease, patients will experience varying degrees of physical discomfort, such as sudden fever, chills, fatigue, dizziness, headache, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, etc.

5. Sexual dysfunction: When the special position and function of the prostate are abnormal, especially after inflammation, it will affect male sexual function to varying degrees. If the course of the disease is slightly longer, it will be accompanied by sexual dysfunction such as loss of libido, impotence and premature ejaculation, abnormal spermatorrhea, and painful ejaculation. The severity of the symptoms varies from patient to patient.
