Patient's question:
Recently, I have felt a lack of urination frequency in my waist and limbs. Sometimes urination feels like being pricked with a needle. It's very painful. There is white discharge from the urethral opening. The smell of this liquid is very unpleasant. Sometimes I also experience symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue all over the body. The prostate is slightly red and swollen. The doctor said it's prostatitis. What are the symptoms of acute prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of acute prostatitis are primarily manifested in the following aspects:(1) Systemic symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, low fever, chills, exhaustion, or sepsis. Sudden onset of systemic symptoms may mask local symptoms.
(2) Local symptoms: Perineal or pubic pressure that spreads to the waist, lower abdomen, back, thighs, etc., especially after prolonged sitting or defecation.
(3) Rectal symptoms: Rectal fullness, constipation, pain during defecation, and whitish discharge from the urethra during urination.
