Patient's question:
I am a driver, and when I have nothing to do in the car, I listen to the radio. But there is a lot of medical information on the radio, and I have also learned that many people are suffering from prostatitis now. I am very worried about getting this disease. What are the main symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis manifests as symptoms such as chills, fever, a drop in body temperature, pain in the groin area, and painful ejaculation during sexual activity. It may also cause symptoms like frequent urination, urgency to urinate, dysuria, or hematuria during urination. It may also expand into a prostatic abscess. Chronic prostatitis manifests as persistent chronic inflammation, such as tenderness and a heavy, sensation in areas like the perineum, anus, and scrotum. It may also cause frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and dysuria. In severe cases, it may lead to difficulty urinating or weak urine flow (thin stream, short, long time).
