My friend has been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and pain during urination. After urinating, there are often white secretions flowing from the urethral opening. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as chronic bacterial prostatitis. They quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination and were diagnosed with prostatitis. What are the common symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is mainly characterized by pain: discomfort or pain in the urethra, abnormal urination such as urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying, nocturia, urethral discharge, and effects on sexual function and fertility such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emission, painful ejaculation, and yellow semen. It is important to visit the hospital early for a urinalysis and actively follow the doctor's advice for treatment based on the examination results. The treatment period for prostatitis is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Additionally, patients should pay attention to personal hygiene.
