Patient's question:
25-year-old male doesn't know why he suddenly got sick and also feels uncomfortable. Please ask: What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of prostatitis include discomfort in the perineum and anus, such as heavy pressure or a feeling of fullness, which are more severe when squatting or having a bowel movement. Symptoms of prostatitis may also manifest as various urinary abnormalities, including frequent urination, a burning sensation in the urethra, and pain that can radiate to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be the excretion of mucus, mucus threads, or pus from the urethral opening. After urination or a bowel movement, there may be a phenomenon of urethral discharge. In severe cases, it may manifest as hematuria (blood in the urine) and difficulty urinating after voiding. Additionally, individuals with prostatitis may experience radiating pain, and the pain associated with prostatitis is not limited to the local area.
