Patient's question:
I haven't been living very happily recently; I've been arguing with my wife all the time. Moreover, I've noticed that my urine has been splitting lately, and I've been experiencing lower back pain and fatigue. After a check-up, I found out that it's due to prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is primarily characterized by pelvic area pain, which can be observed in areas such as the perineum, penis, perianal region, urethra, pubic area, or lumbosacral region. Urinary abnormalities may manifest as urgency, frequency, dysuria, and nocturia. Due to the persistent and intractable nature of chronic pain, patients' quality of life declines, and they may experience sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and memory impairment.
