Patient's question:
I am really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I have symptoms like frequent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, and occasionally urine splitting. I've also started experiencing problems in my sex life. I'm still very young, and I really feel very helpless. Please ask: How can one determine if they have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
To speculate how one may develop prostatitis, one needs to observe the following symptoms:1. Urinary Discomfort: Recurrence of frequent urination, urethral burning pain, and pain that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be mucus, mucus threads, and purulent discharge from the urethral meatus, cloudy urine, or a white stream after urination. In severe cases, there may be terminal hematuria during urination, difficulty urinating, or urinary retention.
2. Sexual Dysfunction: In the early stages, there may be sexual tension, while in later stages, it can lead to decreased or loss of libido, painful ejaculation, hematospermia, premature ejaculation, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emissions, and infertility.
3. Referred Pain: The prostate and seminal vesicles are richly innervated by sympathetic nerves. When inflammation occurs, the internal tension of the glands decreases, which can stimulate the sympathetic nerves and cause referred lower back pain.
