Prostatitis is a relatively common disease for middle-aged and elderly men, and the incidence of the disease will also increase with age. What are the common symptoms of patients with prostatitis? There are usually four main types.

Type I prostatitis often occurs suddenly, mainly manifested as fever, fatigue and other systemic symptoms, accompanied by perineal and pubic pain. Patients may have symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, rectal stimulation and even acute urinary retention.

The clinical symptoms of Type Ⅱ and Ⅲ prostatitis are similar, both of which feature pain and abnormal urination. These similar clinical symptoms are collectively known as prostatitis syndrome, which includes pelvic sacral pain, abnormal urination and male dysfunction.

Abnormal urination is mainly manifested as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, dysuria, nocturnal urination and milky secretion from urethral opening after urination or defecation. It can also cause sexual dysfunction, low sexual desire, premature ejaculation, ejaculation pain, weakened erection, impotence and other phenomena.

Type IV prostatitis has no clinical symptoms and the evidence of the inflammation can be found only through examination related to prostate gland. When this type of prostatitis appears, the patient should go to the nearby hospital to examine prostatic fluid immediately, determine what caused it and receive proper treatment in time.

Therefore, what should the patient pay attention to when treating prostatitis?

1.Persist in the treatment, and do not casually change or stop the treatment plan. The patient should follow the doctor’s advice, and don’t take drugs blindly or take any other medicine without the doctor’s permission during the treatment.

2.Treat prostatitis correctly, and keeping a good attitude is the golden rule. The patient should avoid and transform negative emotions as far as possible, such as depression, sadness, anger, anxious and fear.
