Patient's question:
Over the past two months, I've been feeling lower back pain, general fatigue, decreased libido, and also experiencing frequent urination and urgency. There's a burning sensation when urinating, and my prostate is red and swollen, making it painful to touch. I went to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and the doctor said I have prostatitis. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:I. Urinary Issues: Frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria (painful urination), nocturia (frequent nighttime urination), difficulty urinating, thin urine stream, splitting urine, and white discharge from the urethral meatus.
II. Pain: Due to irritation from inflammation and fibrosis, the perineum, anus, scrotum, and other areas may have tenderness and a sense of fullness or dragging. This sensation often radiates to the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region, causing significant distress and restlessness.
III. Changes in Sexual Function: Issues such as premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, and decreased libido (sex drive). The prostate is the largest accessory gland in males, and prostatitis is a major cause of male infertility, among other conditions.
