Acute prostatitis, what are the symptoms?

Patient's question:

Expert, recently I don't know why, I always feel lower back pain and backache, and my libido is not as strong as before. I had a thorough check-up at the local hospital, and the doctor said it was acute prostatitis. What are the symptoms of acute prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

1. Prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic prostatitis, non-bacterial prostatitis, and prostatodynia. Bacterial prostatitis often presents with pyuria, while non-bacterial prostatitis or prostatodynia rarely recur with urinary tract infections. Prostatodynia shows no inflammatory signs, and the prostatic fluid is normal. Prostatitis, especially chronic prostatitis, is a common disease among adult males. Currently, the etiology of most chronic prostatitis remains unclear, and the treatment outcomes are also unsatisfactory.
2. Pay attention to bed rest, reduce fatigue, maintain bowel regularity, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and reduce the possibility of rectal congestion. Drink more water to promote urination. If acute inflammation recurs, do not perform prostatic massage and stop using urethral instruments for examination to prevent the spread of infection.
