Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing difficulty urinating. I don't know if I have this condition, so I want to ask what are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The common symptoms of prostatitis include: recurrence of fatigue, weakness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, high fever, chills, exhaustion, or sepsis, and when the condition suddenly recurs, the systemic symptoms may mask the local symptoms. During urination, men may experience burning pain, urinary urgency, frequency, dribbling, and purulent urethral discharge. Additionally, swelling of the bladder neck may occur, leading to difficulty urinating, a thinning or interruption of the urine stream, and in severe cases, urinary retention. Consuming spicy foods can stimulate the digestive tract and the urinary tract, making it easier to develop constipation, all of which are highly unfavorable for the local metabolism of the prostate and can lead to the recurrence of inflammation.
