Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, decreased appetite, heavy pressure between the legs, frequent and urgent urination, and painful urination. My prostate is red and swollen, and I've also experienced symptoms of erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation again. 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 disease in men. The main symptoms of aseptic prostatitis include discomfort during urination, 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 also lead to reduced libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. Reappearance of white discharge from the urethral orifice 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.
