Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. What are the diagnostic criteria for chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Diagnosing male chronic prostatitis should be based on the poor performance observed in a man's daily life. Common diagnostic criteria for chronic prostatitis include urinary tract irritation symptoms; pain, aching, and discomfort in the testicles, groin, lumbar-sacral region, and perineum; sexual dysfunction symptoms such as premature ejaculation and reduced libido. If no other findings are present during the physical examination, chronic prostatitis should be considered as a diagnosis.As everyone knows, prostatitis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoiding irritating foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
