Helheim Mild prostatitis usually presents with frequent urination, urgency, discomfort during urination, dull pain or swelling in the perineal area, and may be accompanied by white urethral discharge. Prostatitis can be caused by bacterial infection, bad living habits, pelvic floor muscle tension and other factors, and can be relieved by drug treatment, physical therapy and other methods.
1. Frequent urination and urgent urination
Frequent urination refers to a significant increase in the frequency of urination, which may be more than 8 times during the day and more than 2 times at night.； Urgency is a sudden, strong desire to urinate that is difficult to delay. These symptoms are related to irritation of the bladder neck by congestion of the prostate. It is recommended to avoid holding in urine, reduce caffeine intake, and drink moderate amounts of water.
2. Discomfort in urination
There may be a burning or stinging sensation during urination, the urine line may become thinner and the range may be shortened, and some patients may need to strain to urinate. These symptoms are related to enlargement of the prostate compressing the urethra. Alpha blockers such as tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules and terazosin tablets can be used as directed by your doctor to relieve symptoms.
3. Perineal discomfort
Dull pain or swelling may occur in the perineum, suprapubic area or lumbosacral area, which worsens after sitting for a long time. This is related to prostate congestion and pelvic floor muscle spasm. It is recommended to avoid sitting and cycling for long periods of time, take a sitz bath in warm water for 10-15 minutes every day, and perform pelvic floor muscle relaxation training if necessary.
4. Secretions
A small amount of white discharge may appear at the urethral opening in the morning and disappear after urination. Purulent discharge may indicate bacterial prostatitis. You can use antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets and azithromycin dispersible tablets as directed by your doctor.
5. Impact on sexual function
Some patients experience ejaculation pain, premature ejaculation, or loss of sexual desire, but these are usually mild. This is related to inflammation of the prostate stimulating nerve endings. It is necessary to avoid paying too much attention to symptoms and causing psychological burden, and to postpone sexual life during the acute period.
Patients with mild prostatitis need to maintain a regular schedule, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink about 2000 ml of water every day, and exercise moderately to improve pelvic blood circulation. For long-term sedentary workers, it is recommended to get up and move around every hour, and cycling time should not exceed 30 minutes. If symptoms persist for more than 1 week or fever, hematuria, etc. occur, you should seek medical treatment promptly to rule out other urinary system diseases. Bacterial prostatitis requires a sufficient course of medication to avoid becoming chronic.
