What is the reason for urethral edema when suffering from prostatitis for a long time?

Patient's question:

Male, 28 years old, diagnosed and treated in the first 8 years, after which I could feel it kept recurring. The doctor said it was easy to recur, so I stopped treatment. Now, sitting for a long time causes urethral edema—what's going on? Also, when urinating, there's prostatic weakness, and some discomfort (mild dull pain). The prostate basically has no inflammation, but there's still discomfort. Could it be cancer? It's terrifying, seeking guidance.

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described, it is possible that there is a connection with urological diseases, such as prostate diseases. However, the likelihood of malignancy is low, so there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to visit a formal hospital with a rank of three or higher and consult the urology department for examination. You can undergo a detailed urinalysis, a detailed color Doppler ultrasound examination of the urinary and reproductive systems, and a color Doppler ultrasound examination of the prostate, among others. Identify the cause, treat the symptoms accordingly, and if necessary, oral antibiotic medications can be used for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to regulation in daily life, maintain a regular schedule, and reduce the intake of spicy or irritating foods. Prostatitis can be a serious condition, and it is recommended that patients receive timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to personal care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
