Is the symptom prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I always have difficulty urinating completely. The symptoms are that everything is normal when urinating, but when it's almost done, it's hard to finish without holding it in, and a few drops of urine still remain.

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a disease caused by various complex causes and triggers, leading to inflammation of the prostate gland, intricate pathological changes involving autoimmune and neuroendocrine factors, primarily characterized by clinical manifestations such as urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. The clinical manifestations of prostatitis are diverse, with urethral symptoms including a burning sensation during urination, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination, which may be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge. Acute infections may also be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue.
