Patient's question:
I wonder if only elderly people get benign prostatic hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be divided into two types: acute and chronic. Acute prostatitis is primarily characterized by a sense of fullness and discomfort in the perineum, with more pronounced lower abdominal pain that can radiate to the lumbar-sacral region, penis, and inner thighs. It may also recur symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, or hematuria. The onset is relatively sudden. Chronic prostatitis is mainly characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, a feeling of incomplete urination, urethral burning, and pain. Generally, it is not age-specific, but it is more common in middle-aged and elderly individuals.
