Prostatitis is a common disease in men. Its early symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, waiting for urination, pain in the lower abdomen or perineum, and other general discomfort. In addition, it can be accompanied by fever, chills, and other symptoms. These symptoms are easily confused with urethritis, resulting in many misdiagnosis. So what are the obvious symptoms of early prostatitis?
Urination discomfort: Patients with prostatitis can develop bladder irritation in the early stages, such as frequent urination, burning urethra, pain, and radiation to the head of the penis during urination. In the early morning, there may be secretions such as mucus at the urethral orifice, and there may also be a feeling of difficulty urinating.
Local symptoms: Local symptoms mainly include discomfort of falling and swelling of the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus. Squatting, defecation, and prolonged sitting on chairs and stools aggravate the pain.
Radiation pain: The pain symptoms of prostatitis are very common. In addition to pain in the urethra and perineum, radiation can also be emitted to nearby areas. The following types of low back pain are most common. In addition, the penis, spermatic cord, testicle, scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal region (thigh root), thigh, rectum, and other places can be affected. It should be pointed out that low back pain caused by chronic prostatitis is easily confused with orthopedic low back pain such as myofascitis and lumbar muscle strain, but the latter is mostly located near the belting area, which is higher than the low back pain caused by prostatitis and can be distinguished.
Sexual dysfunction: Prostatitis can also cause decreased libido and ejaculatory pain in men, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality. After urination or during defecation, it can also cause white discharge from the urethral orifice, and when combined with seminal vesiculitis, it can cause blood semen.
Other symptoms: Patients with prostatitis can also develop neurasthenia, manifested as fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and other symptoms. Long lasting prostatitis can even cause allergic reactions in the body, including conjunctivitis, arthritis, and other diseases.
