Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of prostatitis include:1. Urinary discomfort: It may manifest as bladder irritation, such as frequent urination, a burning sensation or pain during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. A sticky discharge may be present at the urethral meatus in the morning, and a feeling of difficulty urinating may also occur.
2. Local symptoms: A sense of heaviness and discomfort in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anal area. The pain may worsen when squatting, having a bowel movement, or sitting on chairs or benches for a long time.
3. 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.
4. Sexual dysfunction: Chronic prostatitis can lead to decreased libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. A whitish discharge may be observed from the urethral meatus after urination or a bowel movement. Hematospermia may occur if combined with seminal vesiculitis.
