Patient's question:
Do you get kidney stones at the same time as prostatitis? What are their different symptoms and similar symptoms? First question supplement: (2007-4-12 22:18:09) My husband has had testicular pain for the past two years, and he also urinates frequently, sometimes he can't urinate, and he is always tired and exhausted! He had kidney stones two years ago, and he had a recurrence about one and a half months ago. He came back to the country and got an injection, and now he had a recurrence two days ago. He went to the hospital and the doctor said it was kidney stones again (but he didn't check anything because it was Easter and no one was at the hospital, so he just got a pain injection and came back, and since it didn't hurt anymore, he didn't go to see the doctor).Doctor's answer:
Kidney stones cause pain that radiates downward and outward to the vulva. The pain is severe, and pain-relieving medications are often ineffective.The main symptoms of prostatitis are:
1. Urinary urgency, dysuria, redness at the urethral orifice, discharge from the urethral orifice, or the phenomenon of white mucus dripping from the urethral orifice when straining during a bowel movement;
2. Pain, swelling, and discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, perianal area, testicles, epididymis, lumbosacral region, inguinal region, suprapubic area, penis, and inner thighs;
3. Frequent urination, urinary urgency, hematuria, difficulty urinating, incomplete urination, hesitancy in urination, narrowed or forked urine stream, and in severe cases, inability to urinate, leading to urinary retention, pyelonephritis, or kidney failure;
4. General weakness, lower back pain, reduced physical strength, insomnia, frequent dreams, decreased energy, and extreme fatigue;
5. Reduced sexual function, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, painful ejaculation, or hematospermia; male infertility is a more serious consequence of prostatitis.
It is primarily characterized by urinary irritation symptoms and post-micturition white mucus discharge.
