Prostatitis
Where does prostatitis hurt?
Patients with prostatitis mainly present with symptoms of urinary discomfort and pelvic pain. Urinary discomfort typically manifests as frequent urination, urgency, and a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying. Pain symptoms mainly include pain around the pelvic area, usually located in the lower abdomen, perineum, and anal region. Some patients may experience pain in the sacral area, with the pain being continuous, distending, or sore. When such symptoms occur, prostatitis should be considered as a likely possibility. It is advisable to promptly visit the urology department of a regular public hospital where diagnosis can be confirmed through ultrasound, digital rectal examination, and routine prostate fluid analysis. Targeted treatment should then be administered, and if necessary, some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally for pain relief. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)
Prostatitis: Diagnosis Methods
For the diagnosis of prostatitis, it is necessary to diagnose through the patient's medical history, clinical manifestations, and related examinations. People with prostatitis often have obvious symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, pain and heaviness in the perineum and lower abdomen. A routine prostate fluid examination will reveal a decrease in lecithin bodies and possibly an increase in white blood cells. If there is an increase in white blood cells, bacterial prostatitis should be considered. Further prostate fluid culture and drug sensitivity testing are needed to identify the pathogen causing prostatitis and the drugs it is sensitive to. Then, based on the test results, sensitive antibiotics are used for treatment for about 4 weeks. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)
