Patient's question:
The body has always had questions, especially in men's health. Recently, I feel like the frequency of urination has changed, and I can't fully empty my bladder. Online says it's prostatitis. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally, prostatitis may recur with symptoms such as urinary abnormalities, improved sexual function, and discomfort in the lumbar-sacral region or perineum. The symptoms include:1. Bladder irritation symptoms: Frequent urination, urgency, nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of the disease. The number of nocturia episodes often correlates with the severity of the condition.
2. Urinary obstruction symptoms, primarily caused by the disease blocking the urinary tract.
(1) Weak urine flow, thinning of the urine stream, and dribbling. Due to the obstruction caused by fibrosis of the prostate, patients may need to exert greater force to urinate, making the process more difficult.
