Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Early Symptoms of Prostatitis:
1. Urinary abnormalities: This is one of the most common early signs, including frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination, especially frequent nighttime urination.
2. Changes in urine flow: The urine stream may become weaker or intermittently interrupted during urination. Patients often feel that the bladder is not completely emptied, or the urine stream may be split or divided.
3. Perineal discomfort: Patients may feel a sensation of pressure or pain in the perineal area, and this discomfort may extend to the groin or lower abdomen.
4. Sexual dysfunction: Some patients may experience sexual problems such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or painful ejaculation. Ejaculation may be accompanied by pain or a significantly reduced ejaculation time.
5. Psychological effects: Prolonged discomfort may lead to emotional problems such as anxiety and depression, affecting daily life and work.
6. Systemic symptoms: Patients with acute prostatitis may experience systemic symptoms in the early stages, such as chills, high fever, and fatigue.
If you have any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
