Patient's question:
What are the symptoms of the prostate? Recently, my penis has been experiencing unintentional swelling and pain, and it hurts when I urinate. Additionally, my urine is often intermittent. It has been this way for nine days, and I am very worried that I might have prostatitis, but I am not entirely sure.Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis primarily include recurring occurrences of urgency, frequent urination, dysuria, incomplete emptying of the bladder, and dripping urine. It may also lead to the appearance of white discharge in the urine, subsequently affecting normal sexual function and causing issues like impotence and premature ejaculation. Additionally, it can result in neuroexhaustion and sleep disturbances. If these symptoms are present, it is necessary to visit the urology department of a hospital for a prostatic fluid test and a prostate ultrasound to confirm whether prostatitis is the issue.Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and relapses are common after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment, use medication appropriately, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
