Am I suffering from prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor: I want to ask is, after being exposed to cold, my testicles will harden again, followed by pain. Besides a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen and a sensation of needing to defecate. If I ejaculate at this time, the pain will relieve again. Is this prostatitis? Thank you!
Duration and persistence of the current episode: 5 years
Current general condition: Symptoms worsen when exposed to cold
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

Hello, common symptoms of prostatitis include:
Pain: The posterior urethra may have a burning sensation or crawling feeling. Pain in the perineum, anal area, or rectum can be reflected to the lumbar-sacral region, groin, pubis, penis, testicles, and occasionally to the abdomen.
Urinary symptoms: Inflammation affecting the urethra may cause mild urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria. In some cases, terminal hematuria may recur. Mucus or purulent secretions may be discharged from the urethral meatus before morning urination or during defecation.
