Patient's question:
Sometimes urination is not smooth, with a split stream and a bit of weakness. I used to have balanitis, and now the sides of my glans are a bit blue.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is primarily characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency to urinate, urine splitting, and dampness in the scrotum. There are many causes of prostatitis, including microbial infections, prostate congestion, autoimmune factors, allergies, psychological factors, and more.Prostatitis mainly manifests as varying degrees of urinary frequency, dysuria, nocturia, difficulty urinating, and the presence of watery or thicker purulent white mucus in the morning, at the end of urination, or during bowel movements. Local pain, pain during ejaculation, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and mental symptoms may also occur.
If prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can affect fertility. It is recommended that you visit a reputable urological specialty hospital in a timely manner to identify the underlying cause. Since different causes require different treatments, timely symptomatic treatment targeting the specific cause is essential.
