Can prostatitis occur without frequent or urgent urination?

It is possible to have prostatitis without symptoms of frequent or urgent urination. The manifestations of prostatitis are complex and non-specific. In addition to urinary frequency and urgency, other symptoms may occur, such as white discharge from the urethra, pain (in the perineum, anus, etc.), changes in sexual function (premature ejaculation, decreased libido), and neurological disturbances (insomnia, vivid dreams, memory decline). Particularly in chronic prostatitis, many patients do not exhibit urinary tract irritation symptoms, meaning they do not experience urinary frequency or urgency. Therefore, even in the absence of these urinary symptoms, prostatitis cannot be completely ruled out. If any of the above symptoms or other signs suggestive of prostatitis appear, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and obtain a definitive diagnosis through appropriate diagnostic tests.
