Patient's question:
27-year-old male I previously had prostatitis, and in these 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 am concerned that this condition might affect my health. Could you please tell me: What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is typically characterized by recurrent visits due to pain in the perineum, lumbosacral region, and groin area. Common symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, urine splitting, white discharge during urination, difficulty urinating, increased nocturia, and may also include recurrent painful ejaculation, hematospermia, or systemic symptoms. After thorough examinations such as a detailed analysis of prostatic fluid, prostate ultrasound, and urinalysis, active treatment should be initiated. Do not feel any psychological pressure, 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 fetus.
