According to statistics, not only has the incidence rate of prostate diseases in men increased, but there is also a trend towards younger victims. Why does the prostate - a male organ the size of a chestnut - keep causing trouble? The disease with the highest incidence rate is prostatitis.
In the early stages of prostatitis, symptoms include urethral discharge and frequent urination. As the condition progresses, the discharge stops. This is because during the inflammatory cell infiltration stage, increased inflammatory secretions cause the discharge. During the fibrous hyperplasia and degeneration phase, even prostate massage cannot make the prostatic fluid flow out.
Prostatitis causes many symptoms, and self-diagnosis requires knowledge of the following four main types of symptoms:
1. Pain or discomfort: mainly in the perineum, testicles, lower abdomen, posterior urethra, sacrococcygeal region, anus, inguinal area, *** and glans.
2. Urinary tract symptoms: frequent urination, incomplete emptying, dribbling, painful urination, urethral burning, urgent urination, difficulty in urination, and yellow urine are common.
3. Sexual and reproductive symptoms: in the morning or during defecation, a small amount of thin, milky white, watery or viscous secretion may flow from the urethral opening, accompanied by nocturnal emission, premature ejaculation, bloody semen, ejaculation disorders, decreased libido.
4. Mental symptoms: fatigue, depression, memory loss, and decreased self-confidence.

Diagnosing prostatitis involves looking at clinical symptoms as well as physical signs, such as digital rectal examination. If the prostate pain is obvious, the prostate hardness increases, and nodules of different sizes can be felt, then further diagnosis should be done. A routine microscopic examination of prostatic fluid shows that if white blood cells ≥10/HP and lecithin bodies are significantly reduced, a combined diagnosis can be made.
