Prostatitis is no longer unfamiliar to male friends. In recent years, prostatitis has been on the rise and has attracted more and more attention from male friends. Prostatitis can be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis according to the course of the disease, and bacterial prostatitis and aseptic prostatitis according to the pathogen. So, is there a difference between bacterial and aseptic prostatitis? Below, male experts will provide a detailed introduction for everyone.
Is there a difference between bacterial and aseptic prostatitis?
Firstly, it is manifested in the difference in urination. Bacterial urine often contains bacteria, leading to a series of symptoms of urinary tract infections such as frequent urination, urgency, pain, and burning sensation in the urethra; Sterile prostatitis may not necessarily be accompanied by urinary tract infections, and bladder irritation symptoms may not always occur. Additionally, there is no discomfort in the urethra, as chronic aseptic prostatitis can also cause a certain degree of congestion in the posterior urethra.
It may cause mild discomfort during urination and a burning sensation in the urethra, but it is milder than bacterial chronic prostatitis. In addition, there are also differences in rectal digital examination: normal or slightly enlarged prostate bodies with bacterial characteristics, with a harder texture; The sterile prostate gland is swollen and soft. It is easy to discharge thinner prostatic fluid after massage, and the discharge amount is too large, usually about 0.5~6 ml.
