Patient's question:
If you get prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, or similar diseases, what symptoms will you have?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis (1) Urinary discomfort: May include frequent urination and urethral burning pain. In the morning, a sticky discharge with mucus, threads, and pus may be observed from the urethral orifice, and the urine may appear cloudy or a white discharge may flow after defecation. In severe cases, terminal hematuria and difficulty urinating may occur. (2) Local symptoms: Discomfort, heavy pressure, or a sense of fullness in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anal area, especially 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 radiating lower back pain. The pain can radiate to the penis, testicles, scrotum, inguinal region, perineum, lower abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and rectum. (4) Sexual dysfunction: Primarily reduced libido, premature ejaculation. Unmarried young individuals may exhibit nocturnal emissions, neurosis, and depression. (5) Other: Chronic bacterial prostatitis can cause allergic reactions, such as iritis, arthritis, and neuritis. It can also lead to neurosis, characterized by fatigue, blurred vision, dizziness, insomnia, and depression. Epididymitis is often caused by urinary tract infections, prostatitis, or seminal vesiculitis. Symptoms include redness and swelling of the scrotum, pain, and enlargement of the epididymis, which may radiate to the inguinal region and lower back.
