Patient's question:
My left abdomen has been painful for over a month; the examination showed lipid bodies + and white blood cells ++++. The doctor said I have prostatitis and prescribed me some anti-inflammatory medication. After taking it, the pain in my left abdomen has started again. Could you please tell me what type of prostatitis this is? What should I do?? / Did my girlfriend pass it to me?Doctor's answer:
Alright, here's the translation, keeping the line breaks as they are:Here's a list of the symptoms of prostatitis for you to compare with your body:
1. Acute prostatitis: Sudden fever, chills, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting. When it suddenly occurs, the systemic symptoms can mask the local symptoms. Additionally, there are significant urinary tract irritation symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, urethral burning pain, dribbling urine, and purulent urethral discharge. There may also be a sense of fullness or pain in the lower abdomen and perineal area, which can even radiate to the thighs.
2. Chronic prostatitis:
a. Urinary disorders: Patients often complain of frequent urination, urgent urination, nocturia (frequent nighttime urination), dysuria (painful urination), and a feeling of incomplete urination. Some patients may only experience a delay in urination or weak urine flow.
b. Discomfort or pain: The main manifestation is the patient's perception of pain or discomfort in the lower abdominal bladder area, pubic area, or perineal area. Some patients experience a sense of fullness, while others experience discomfort or twitching pain in the testicles.
c. Sexual dysfunction: Different patients experience different changes in sexual function, with varying degrees. However, the main manifestations are concentrated in two points: first, a decrease in libido or even no sexual desire; second, reduced erectile function, with some patients even completely unable to achieve an erection. Other symptoms may include emotional tension, overall fatigue, insomnia, frequent dreams, and high stress levels.
