Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling constant bloating and pain in my stomach, with a persistent sense of discomfort. I frequently use the restroom, but when I urinate, it's only a little bit at a time, sometimes even just a drop or two. It also comes with a stinging sensation. When I went to the hospital for a follow-up, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Type I: Onset is acute, can manifest as chills, high fever, and symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, urinary burning sensation, difficulty urinating, urinary retention, and a sense of fullness or discomfort in the posterior urethra, anus, and perineal area. A decrease in the number of white blood cells in blood and urine, along with a positive bacterial culture.Type II: Characterized by recurrent lower urinary tract infection symptoms that last less than 3 months.
Type III: Primarily manifests as pelvic pain, often localized to areas such as the perineum, penis, perianal region, urethra, pubic area, or lumbosacral region. Urinary abnormalities may include urinary urgency, frequency, dysuria, and increased nocturia.
Additionally, during the treatment of prostatitis, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and adopt a proper diet.
