Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of prostatitis in men? My friend has been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. After urination, there is often white discharge flowing from the urethral orifice. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as chronic bacterial prostatitis. How should one seek medical attention and treatment?Doctor's answer:
The structure of prostate tissue exhibits diverse symptoms, with common symptoms generally falling into several aspects:1. Urinary discomfort: It may recur bladder irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, a burning sensation or pain during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be mucus or other secretions from the urethral opening, and a feeling of difficulty urinating may also occur.
2. Local symptoms: A sense of heaviness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anal area. This discomfort is relieved when squatting, having a bowel movement, or sitting on chairs or benches for a long time.
3. Radiating pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis does not limit itself to the urethra and perineum.
