Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been experiencing lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, decreased appetite, a heavy feeling between my legs, frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and a burning sensation during urination. My prostate is red and swollen, and I've also experienced recurring symptoms of impotence and premature ejaculation. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with aseptic prostatitis. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
This is a common male disease. The main symptoms of aseptic prostatitis include urinary discomfort, a sense of fullness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus, relief of distending pain when squatting, having a bowel movement, or sitting on chairs/benches for a long time. It can lead to decreased libido and painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. Additionally, white discharge from the urethral orifice may reappear after urination or a bowel movement, and hematospermia may occur during the rupture of seminal vesiculitis. If not treated and controlled in a timely manner, it can lead to complications such as chronic seminal vesiculitis, premature ejaculation, acute seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, and orchitis, as well as sexual dysfunction.
