Patient's question:
Chronic prostatitis can be associated with second-order neuron neurosis, manifesting as fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness, neurasthenia, and depression. Is this a characteristic of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis are complex and diverse. At times, they can be easily confused with simple neurasthenia, and the treatment outcomes are often not ideal, with inconsistent treatment standards. From a clinical perspective, patients may experience urethral irritation, frequent urination, urgent urination, urethral burning pain, and the presence of mucus, mucus threads, or purulent secretions at the urethral meatus in the morning. After defecation, urine may become cloudy, or white fluid may be discharged from the urethral meatus. There may also be discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus. At times, pain in the penis, testicles, and groin may occur, accompanied by symptoms of vegetative nervous system dysfunction.
