Patient's question:
I want to know whether chronic or acute prostatitis can be distinguished from common symptoms.Doctor's answer:
The common symptoms of prostatitis include: urinary discomfort, local symptoms, referred pain, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and others. In summary, the symptoms of prostatitis are relatively complex, especially when it has progressed to the chronic stage, where the symptoms of prostatitis manifest more severe pain and distress. The main symptoms and harms of prostatitis are:1. Local discomfort, such as urinary discomfort, local symptoms, and referred pain. This is the most basic and least severe form of harm.
2. Decreased sexual function and mental/neurological symptoms are also harms of prostatitis.
3. If prostatitis is not treated effectively for a long time, it may lead to conditions such as orchitis, epididymitis, and seminal vesiculitis, thereby interfering with fertility.
