Prostatitis is a common male reproductive system disease, but many people, especially younger patients, do not know much about it, leading to a gradual worsening of inflammation that can even affect normal life and work.
So, how can prostatitis be detected early? What treatments can help avoid the troubles caused by prostatitis?
Four early symptoms of prostatitis
In the early stages of prostatitis, there are generally four actual symptoms and subjective feelings.
1. Abnormal urination
Urinary irritation: frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, burning sensation in the urethra, stabbing pain in the urethra, etc.;
Urinary obstruction: difficulty starting urination, weak urinary stream, decreased force of urination, urinary retention, etc.;
Urine abnormalities: cloudy urine, yellow urine, red urine, foul-smelling urine, blood in urine, post-urination dribbling, etc.
2. Abnormal sexual function
Increased sexual function: **hyperactivity, abnormal erections, ejaculation during sleep, frequent nocturnal emissions, rapid ejaculation, etc.;
Decreased sexual function: **decline, inability to maintain an erection, slow erection, weak erection, firm but short-lived erection, lack of pleasure during intercourse, weak ejaculation, slow ejaculation, anejaculation, etc.
3. General or local discomfort
Discomfort in the radiating area: damp scrotum, dull pain in the testes, **pain, perineal heaviness, soreness in the lower back and knees, thigh soreness, abdominal distension, etc.;
Digestive system discomfort: loss of appetite, indigestion, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, etc.;
Nervous system discomfort: dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, forgetfulness, insomnia with vivid dreams, poor concentration, etc.
4. **Anomalies leading to infertility
**Thinner, **viscous, **slow liquefaction, **failure to liquefy, **excessive, **insufficient, anejaculation, retrograde ejaculation, **blood in semen, and other **anomalies.
Male **anomalies can lead to decreased chances of pregnancy, or even infertility. Therefore, if a couple has been trying to conceive for a year without success, males should also undergo related examinations to rule out their own issues that may be causing their partner’s infertility, so as not to delay the pregnancy process.
If males experience any of the above “abnormal” symptoms, they should be vigilant and seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment and causing further harm.
Do not delay treatment if prostatitis is suspected!
The “inflammation” within the prostate does not self-heal over time like a cold; it often cycles through a pattern of symptoms “disappearing and recurring.” If the “inflammation” cannot be eliminated at its source, over time, the inflammation will gradually worsen and may even spread to surrounding tissues, such as causing chronic epididymitis, leading to more serious diseases and health hazards. Therefore, upon noticing prostate symptoms, one should promptly consult a specialist for targeted treatment to alleviate symptoms and return to normal life.
