Patient's question:
I have had prostatitis for over two months now. Sometimes I experience symptoms like frequent urination and shortness of breath, but otherwise, things are relatively normal. However, in the past two days, I've noticed some discomfort in my rectum and don't know what's going on?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause anal discomfort. If prostatitis is left untreated for a long time, it may lead to various complications such as seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, orchitis, sexual dysfunction, and male infertility. Simple medication treatment is not very effective because the prostate is a special organ with a hard lipid capsule outside, which acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for drugs to penetrate to the affected area of the prostate. Therefore, advanced medical equipment must be used for patients with prostatitis. Timely treatment can reduce recurrence, but if it is not treated promptly, it may affect fertility.
