What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

When I take a nap in the evening, I always feel a bit uncomfortable. I always want to go to the bathroom, but sometimes I can't produce much urine. I also have frequent urination. During sexual activity, I feel weak and unable to perform. Others told me that I might have prostatitis. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of prostatitis mainly include:
1. Difficulty urinating. If the urethra is obstructed again, the resistance of urine metabolism will increase, making urination difficult.
2. Frequent urination is an early sign of prostatitis.
3. Urinary urgency without urination, hidden pain in the urethra, post-urination dribbling, residual urine leakage, or lower abdominal discomfort. These do not have the normal physiological feeling after urination in healthy individuals.
4. Discomfort in the posterior urethra and pressure in the perineum.
5. Changes in urine stream. Fibrosis of the glandular tissue makes the edge of the urethral opening uneven, severely interfering with the urine jet flow.
