Patient's question:
I am a 40-year-old male. Recently, I have been feeling uncomfortable during urination. My colleague mentioned that it might be prostatitis. I would like to know what prostatitis is.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a common disease in urology, accounting for the highest proportion among male patients under 50 years old in urology. Medically, it can be divided into four types: the first type is called acute bacterial prostatitis, the second type is called chronic bacterial prostatitis, the third type is called chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, and the fourth type is called asymptomatic prostatitis. Among these, non-bacterial prostatitis is far more common than bacterial prostatitis.
