Pain behind the testicles and in front of the anus

Although the male private parts are not as complicated as the female private parts, they are still fragile. It can be said that the male private parts are the most vulnerable part of the male body. The male reproductive organs are mainly composed of the penis and scrotum. The scrotum is located below the penis and is somewhat close to the anus. But if a man finds that there is pain behind the testicles and in front of the anus, what is going on?

What is prostatitis

Prostatitis is a systemic or local acute or chronic inflammatory disease caused by specific and non-specific infection of the prostate. Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, prostatitis (idiopathic bacterial prostatitis), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococci, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, etc.), prostate congestion and prostatitis.

According to the course of the disease, prostatitis can be divided into two categories: acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis.

Acute prostatitis patients will experience systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue. Local symptoms include a sense of heaviness in the perineum or suprapubic area, radiating to the waist, lower abdomen, back, and thighs, and the sense of heaviness will be aggravated when sitting for a long time or defecating; if a small abscess is formed, the pain will be aggravated and defecation will be impossible. Urethral symptoms include burning sensation, urgency, and frequent urination during urination, which may be accompanied by hematuria or purulent urethral secretions. Rectal symptoms include rectal distension, urgency, and a sense of defecation, and white secretions may flow out of the urethra during defecation.

Chronic prostatitis can be divided into bacterial prostatitis and prostatitis. Chronic bacterial prostatitis is often transformed from acute prostatitis, and prostatitis is often caused by viral infection, urinary stones, chronic congestion of the prostate, etc.

Classification of prostatitis

According to the course of the disease, prostatitis can be divided into two categories: acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. Chronic prostatitis can be divided into three types: chronic bacterial prostatitis, nonbacterial prostatitis and prostatitis.

In 1998, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) of the United States reclassified prostatitis based on the previous classification according to the results of white blood cell count and bacterial culture of prostatic fluid, first urine after massage and (or) semen.

Type I: Equivalent to acute bacterial prostatitis in the traditional classification method;

Type II: Equivalent to chronic bacterial prostatitis in the traditional classification method;

Type III: chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome;

Type IV: asymptomatic prostatitis.

Among them, nonbacterial prostatitis is far more common than bacterial prostatitis.
