The most common symptoms of chronic prostatitis are frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Patients will urinate frequently, and experience a stinging or burning sensation in the urethra during urination. Additionally, after urinating, a small amount of white discharge, primarily inflammatory secretions from the prostate, may drip from the urethral opening. Chronic prostatitis may also manifest as discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen or perineum. Some patients may experience sexual dysfunction, such as erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or frequent nocturnal emissions. Pain and discomfort may also occur during ejaculation. For patients with chronic prostatitis, it is necessary to collect prostatic fluid for examination to observe an increase in white blood cells. Prostatic fluid can also be cultured and sensitivity testing can be done to select appropriate antibiotics for treatment.
