Patient's question:
My sexual life is very frequent, and I also have sex with different women. I don't take good care of personal hygiene, which has led to inflammation in my sexual organs, and it's itchy. I suspect it might be non-bacterial chronic prostatitis, so I want to consult a doctor. What are the symptoms of non-bacterial chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis are similar to those of bacterial prostatitis, often pelvic pain, and may also include symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and difficulty urinating. It may also be accompanied by a sense of fullness or discomfort in the perineal area. The duration is less than 3 months, and in severe cases, it can lead to sexual dysfunction. Prostate fluid tests or cultures should be conducted to rule out the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, mycoplasma, and viruses. In addition to symptomatic treatment for prostatitis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet.
