Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a common disease among adult males. It may be asymptomatic, or it may present with noticeable symptoms, leading to non-healing and even persistent or recurrent urinary and perinatal infections. The common symptoms are primarily as follows:
1. Urinary discomfort: Frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, urinary burning, incomplete emptying, and urine splitting.
2. Drip white: One or two drops of white fluid are discharged from the urethral meatus after urination or during defecation. This phenomenon is called "drip white."
3. Swollen pain in the testicles, anus, and perineum: The pain is relieved when squatting, defecating, or sitting for a long time. Therefore, patients need timely and careful examination and diagnosis to treat the symptoms accordingly.
