Patient's question:
Doctor, today when I was urinating, I felt pain,,, sexual life hasn't been much affected yet, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it's prostatitis and prescribed some medication for me. But I don't really understand what this disease is aboutDoctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis (also known as prostatodynia), specific prostatitis (caused by pathogens such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.), prostatic congestion, and prostatalgia. They can lead to urinary discomfort: recurring bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation and pain during urination, difficulty urinating, sexual dysfunction, reduced libido, and painful ejaculation. Premature ejaculation may also occur, and it can affect semen quality. When seminal vesiculitis occurs, hematospermia may appear.
