Patient's question:
I recently have had urgency, pain, and incomplete urination, suspecting it might be prostatitis. I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of prostatitis? What should I do if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis pain primarily causes pain and discomfort in the perineum, which is an unpleasant sensation. Male patients often experience prostatitis pain under certain triggers. The first step in treating prostatitis is to identify the underlying cause. Young patients commonly suffer from inflammation, and treatment should be based on symptoms to alleviate discomfort. Symptomatic treatment can be administered using anti-inflammatory pain relievers. If other symptoms, such as frequent urination, are present, medications to improve urinary frequency should be taken to control symptoms and reduce pain. Follow the doctor's advice to seek treatment promptly and avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive results.
