Patient's question:
I have symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and increased nocturia. I suspect I might have prostatitis. I want to know what the symptoms of prostatitis pain are. What should we pay attention to in our daily lives when we suffer from prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Many patients with prostatitis pain can discover tightness of the anal sphincter and soft tissues around the prostate through a careful digital rectal examination. The patients undergoing the examination reported that discomfort during the examination around the anus was more noticeable than discomfort during the prostate massage. There is an increase in the frequency of urination, urgency of urination, and continuous nighttime urination. Pain and discomfort are primarily concentrated in the perineum, groin, testicles, lumbosacral region, lower abdomen, pubic arch, penis, and urethra. In typical cases, pain can be significantly exacerbated during ejaculation, urination, or defecation, sometimes accompanied by painful ejaculation. This suggests that we should seek a formal specialized hospital for a detailed examination to identify the root cause and not miss the best time for symptomatic treatment.
