Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency lately, and my prostate is also in severe pain. I'm wondering if it might be prostatitis. What are the symptoms of prostatitis? If I want to treat prostatitis, where is the best place to go? What are the specific symptoms of prostatitis, and where is the best place to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Your good friend, regarding the question you raised about the symptoms of prostatitis, the expert clearly cited that men with prostatitis may experience frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, difficulty urinating, and may also have physical discomfort symptoms such as a heavy or painful sensation in the groin area, thigh pain, or lower back pain. This refers to the reflexive radiation of pain around the prostate to surrounding areas, as well as discomfort, pressure, or a feeling of fullness in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anal area. The expert advises that men should avoid cold exposure in their daily lives, as cold can cause the sympathetic nerve activity of the prostate to increase, leading to a whirlwind effect in the urethra. They should also stay away from spicy foods and ensure they urinate promptly when they feel the urge.
