Patient's question:
24-year-old male I previously had prostatitis, and in the past few years, it has been well-controlled without recurrence. The other day, I planned to go for a follow-up check-up to see if everything is still fine. I'm concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms and signs of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
1. General symptoms: Prostatitis can cause systemic symptoms, mainly including: fever and chills, body aches, fatigue and weakness, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, constipation, headache, etc.2. Local symptoms: Prostatitis can also lead to many local symptoms, such as: a heavy pressure sensation in the perineum or suprapubic area, severe discomfort during prolonged sitting or defecation, and radiation to the waist, lower abdomen, back, and inner thighs. Do not feel any psychological stress, maintain a cheerful mood, and pay attention to getting plenty of rest during this period. Additionally, maintain a light diet, avoiding greasy and spicy foods, which will benefit both you and the baby in your womb.
