Symptoms of prostatitis pain
Patients with prostatitis, in addition to experiencing urinary discomfort symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying, also experience pain symptoms, primarily manifested as pelvic pain. The pain is mainly located in the perineum, anal area, lower abdomen, and some patients may also experience pain in the sacral and even testicular areas. The pain is generally a persistent discomfort similar to gastrointestinal bloating and is usually not severe. However, in cases of acute bacterial prostatitis, the pain can be intense. If these symptoms occur, prostatitis should be strongly considered, and it is advisable to visit a hospital's urology department for preliminary assessment through ultrasound, routine prostate fluid analysis, and rectal examinations, followed by targeted treatment.
