Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know how it happened, but I've been feeling lower back pain and backache, and my urination is also abnormal, with recurring pain. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, they said I have prostatitis. Is prostatitis serious for men?Doctor's answer:
The harm caused by prostatitis is a disease that brings many sufferings to male patients. Because prostatitis is very common in life, many patients always feel that prostatitis is relatively mild. In fact, it is not. Instead, prostatitis poses a significant threat to men's physical health. For example, it can lead to sexual dysfunction in men, such as frequent urination, a burning sensation and pain during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, there may be secretions like mucus at the urethral opening, and a feeling of difficulty urinating may also occur.
