@wellness.iq.men.h: Prostatitis is swelling and irritation of the prostate gland. The prostate sits just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra (the tube urine passes through). When it becomes inflamed, it can squeeze this tube, making urination painful or difficult. Why it causes frequent urination Because the swollen prostate presses on the urethra and irritates the bladder, you may feel: • the urge to urinate often • difficulty starting urine • weak urine stream • dribbling after urinating • waking many times at night to pee • feeling the bladder is not fully empty This is why many men say: “I just passed urine, but I still feel like going again.” Pain symptoms explained The pain is often felt in the pelvic and groin area. Common places include: • lower abdomen • lower back • groin • between the anus and testicles • penis or testicles • inside the rectal area The pain may feel: • burning • pressure • heaviness • sharp stabbing pain • dull aching Pain during ejaculation This is a very common symptom. Because the prostate helps produce semen, inflammation can cause: • pain during ejaculation • burning after ejaculation • pelvic pain that worsens after sex • reduced sexual desire • sometimes erection problems #pr#prostatitisr#prostatehealthy#fyppppppppppppppppppppppp
