Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency recently. I want to know if this could be acute prostatitis. I would like to consult about the symptoms of acute prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of Acute Prostatitis1. Rectal symptoms: Urgency or pain during defecation, rectal fullness, and white secretions from the urethra during bowel movements.
2. Urinary symptoms: Burning sensation during urination, urgency, pain, frequent urination, post-micturition dripping, or pyuria. In severe cases, it may lead to difficulty urinating, narrowed urine stream, or even urinary retention.
3. Local symptoms: Heavy pressure in the perineal or suprapubic area, worsening with prolonged sitting or defecation, and radiating to the waist, back, lower abdomen, and inner thighs. Once an abscess forms, local pain intensifies, making defecation unbearable.
