Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a bit of pain at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me: What are the early symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Testicular examination is normal, no abnormalities found. Some patients may experience perineal fullness, swelling, and pain, as well as pain in the pubic symphysis and lower abdomen sometimes. Some may have persistent urethral pain or anal pain, while others may experience pain in the groin, unilateral thigh pain, or lower back pain, which radiates reflexively from the prostate area. The contraction of urethral smooth muscle disrupts the coordination of smooth muscle movements, causing pain. It is important to seek timely treatment at a regular hospital for prostatitis pain, and patients should pay attention. Some patients may feel as if they have a urinary tract infection, but in reality, there are no pathogenic bacteria in the urine, and tests do not show a large number of white blood cells. It exhibits various symptoms of prostatitis, such as weak urine flow, urine splitting, thin urine stream, incomplete emptying, urinary obstruction, and urinary interruption.
