Patient's question:
Doctor, recently I have been experiencing the recurrence of discomfort during urination. At the same time, there is also a condition of frequent urination, which I have started to ignore, thinking it's due to work fatigue. However, in the past few days, I have started to experience symptoms of urinary pain and a burning sensation, and sometimes there are also some secretions. What is going on? Is it prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of chronic prostatitis are as follows:1. Urinary discomfort: It may recur with bladder irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, a burning sensation and pain during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. Mucus or other secretions may be present at the urethral opening in the morning, and a feeling of difficulty urinating may also occur.
2. Radiating pain: The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum but can also radiate to nearby areas, with lower back pain being the most common.
3. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can lead to reduced libido and painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and other issues. It can also affect semen quality. Urine or white discharge may flow from the urethral opening after urination or defecation, and blood in the semen may occur during seminal vesiculitis.
