Patient's question:
Males often experience difficulty urinating due to prostate diseases. What are the conditions and symptoms?What symptoms are similar to my poor urination?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: What do you mean by "urination is not good"? Please describe your symptoms in detail. Male urinary hesitation is commonly seen in prostatitis. Common symptoms can be summarized into the following five categories:(1) Urinary discomfort: This may include frequent urination, urethral burning pain, and pain that radiates to the head of the penis. In the morning, the urethral orifice may secrete mucus, mucus threads, and pus, leading to cloudy urine or white discharge after defecation. In severe cases, it may cause terminal hematuria during urination, difficulty urinating, or urinary retention.
(2) Local symptoms: Discomfort, heavy pressure, or a sense of fullness in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anal area, which worsens when squatting or defecating.
(3) Radiating pain: The prostate and seminal vesicles are richly innervated by sympathetic nerves. When inflammation occurs, the internal tension of the glands increases, stimulating the sympathetic nerves and causing referred lower back pain. The pain can radiate to the penis, testicles, scrotum, groin, perineum, lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, rectum, and other areas.
(4) Sexual dysfunction (disturbance): Chronic prostatitis can lead to decreased or loss of libido, painful ejaculation, hematospermia, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, nocturnal emissions, and infertility. Unmarried young men often exhibit nocturnal emissions, neurasthenia, and mental depression.
(5) Other symptoms: Chronic bacterial prostatitis can cause allergic reactions, such as iritis, arthritis, and neuritis. Chronic prostatitis may also lead to neurosis, characterized by fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness, insomnia, and depression.
