Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling pain when urinating, and there's also some stinging sensation at the urethral opening. It's quite painful. Some people say this might be prostatitis. How can one know if they have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of prostatitis are primarily manifested as follows: pain in the perineum, testicles, lower abdomen, posterior urethra, lumbosacral region, anus, and groin. Sometimes, there may be pain at the urethral opening during urination, difficulty urinating, and other symptoms. In the morning, there may be a discharge of milky white, watery, or viscous secretions from the urethral opening. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with prostatitis need to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, as a positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
