Male prostate alarm! How to do with frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination and retention of urine? With the change of society and people's lifestyle, the number of male prostate patients is increasing, and the age of onset is also becoming lower and lower.

According to health experts, many prostatitis patients regard these symptoms as minor problems of the body when they first find that they have frequent urination, urgency, pain, endless urination, and retention of urine, and think that they will be better after a period of time. Experts from Dongke Ruibao said that frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination are typical symptoms of prostatitis. When these symptoms occur, your prostate health has already issued an alarm. A diagnosis as soon as possible is the scientific solution.
Prostatitis can be divided into acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis. The symptoms of acute prostatitis include frequent urination, urgency, pain in urination, hematuria, swelling and discomfort in physiological areas, dull pain in the lower abdomen, radiation to the lumbosacral region and the root of the thigh, and may be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, anorexia, and fatigue.
The symptoms of chronic prostatitis are diverse, and common symptoms can be summarized into the following categories:
(1) Discomfort in urination: frequent urination and burning pain in the urethra can occur. Early in the morning, it can be seen that there is mucus, sticky filaments, and pus secretion at the urethral orifice, and urine is turbid or white after defecation. In severe cases, terminal hematuria and dysuria may occur.
(2) Local symptoms: discomfort in the posterior urethra and anus, feeling heavy pressure or fullness, squatting, or defecation.
(3) Radiation pain: The prostate or seminal vesicle has abundant sympathetic innervation. When inflammation occurs, the internal tension of the gland increases, which can stimulate the sympathetic nerve and cause metastatic low back pain. The pain can radiate to the groin, lower abdomen, thigh, buttock, rectum, and other places.
(4) Physiological dysfunction: The main manifestation is the decline in the emotional quality of life of couples, and young unmarried people often exhibit neurasthenia and mental depression.
(5) Other: Chronic bacterial prostatitis can cause allergic reactions, such as iritis, arthritis, and neuritis. It can also be complicated with neurosis, manifested as fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and depression.
The following points can effectively prevent prostatitis:
Pay attention to rest, avoid sitting for a long time, quit smoking and control alcohol, avoid spicy food, regularly do anal exercises, do not hold urine, and have a regular life. These lifestyle adjustments are very important for the treatment of prostatitis.
