Patient's question:
The body has always had questions, especially in men's health. Recently, I feel like I'm urinating more often and can't empty my bladder completely. Online says it's about the prostate. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
General prostatitis often recurs with symptoms such as abnormal urination, increased sexual function, and discomfort in the lumbar-sacral region or perineum. The symptoms include:1. Bladder irritation symptoms: Frequent urination, urinary urgency, nocturia, and urge incontinence. Frequent urination is an early sign of the disease. The number of nocturia episodes usually parallels the severity of the condition.
2. Urinary tract obstruction symptoms, primarily caused by the disease blocking the urinary tract.
(1) Weak urinary stream, thinning of the urine stream, and dribbling. Due to the obstruction caused by fibrotic prostate, patients may need to exert greater force to empty their bladders, making urination difficult.
