What are the symptoms of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've noticed small red particles on my glans, and when I touch it, it feels bumpy. I often can't help but feel itchy. Is this a sign of prostatitis? I'm now afraid it might be transmitted to my girlfriend. What exactly is prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of prostatitis include frequent urination, urgency to urinate, pain during urination, incomplete urination, and sometimes a burning sensation in the urine and lower abdominal pain when the condition worsens. There is a red bump on the head of the penis, which suggests some degree of balanitis. In this case, it is best to avoid sexual activity, as it may worsen the condition or transmit it to the partner. Appropriate medication can be taken, and the condition should be treatable. The above information can be used for reference.
