Men are the main component of society, and they bear the heavy responsibility of social construction. Diseases often haunt men. Prostate pain is one of the most common diseases in men, and understanding its related manifestations is very important for most men. Let's get to know it together.
What is prostate pain?
Prostate pain is a condition similar to chronic prostatitis caused by spasmodic pain in the muscles of the urethra, prostate, or perineum and pelvic floor. When performing a digital examination of the anus for this type of patient, there is no abnormality or tenderness in the palpation of the prostate, while there is significant tenderness in the levator muscles on both sides of the anus. Therefore, clinicians name this type of disease prostate pain.
"The symptoms of prostate pain are similar to those of prostatitis. It is unclear how the symptoms of patients with prostate pain relate to the pathological changes in the prostate itself. Some scholars believe that these symptoms are caused by pelvic floor rhabdomyodynia.". The proportion of this type in various types of prostatitis is slightly lower than that of non bacterial prostatitis. What are the symptoms of prostate pain? We must pay attention together.
"The main manifestation is pain in the pelvic region, which can be seen in the perineum, penis, perianal region, urethra, pubic region, or lumbosacral region.".
2. Abnormal urination can be manifested as urgency, frequency, pain in urination, and increased nocturia.
"Due to chronic pain that cannot be cured for a long time, the quality of life of the patient has decreased, and there may be sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and decreased memory.".
4. When the lesion is severe, there are pain during ejaculation, blood semen, decreased semen, and sexual dysfunction. "When the prostate and seminal vesicle are significantly enlarged, they can compress the posterior urethra, bladder, and distal ureters, causing urethral stricture, difficulty urinating, or upper urinary tract expansion and hydrops.".
5. The symptoms of early prostate cysts are not obvious, and sometimes symptoms of chronic prostatitis can occur, manifested as perineal discomfort and a sense of sagging, low back pain, anal and testicular pain, pain during defecation, and pain radiating to the hips, gradually worsening the symptoms.
6. Urine can be cloudy and there is a small amount of secretion in the urethra. "If the bladder neck is affected, symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain can occur. There are red blood cells, pus cells, proteins, and cystobacterium in the urine.". The epididymis can often be affected, swollen and hard, with an irregular surface, presenting as a nodular shape, with mild tenderness, and occasionally with beaded nodules of the vas deferens.
