Patient's question:
Male, 47 years old. Initially, it was just lower back pain, then gradually, some pain in the lower abdomen and perineum area. Recently, I also noticed that I have developed a split stream when urinating, and urination doesn't seem as smooth as before. Please ask: What are the symptoms of a prostatitis abscess?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis abscess is a complication of acute prostatitis, urethritis, and epididymitis. The most common causative organisms are aerobic gram-negative bacilli, followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Patients are typically aged 40-60, with symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary obstruction, or urinary retention. Perineal pain, acute epididymitis, hematuria, and purulent urethral discharge are less common. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually slow, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly.
