Patient's question:
I am a college student. Besides classes, I usually like to play computer games in my dormitory. I sit for a lot of time and lack exercise. Recently, I've noticed that I can't urinate cleanly when I go to the bathroom, and there's also white discharge leaking out. After doing some research, I found it might be prostatitis. I'm still so young, so I'm wondering: Why does prolonged sitting cause prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prolonged sitting can lead to prostatitis, which requires attention. Sitting for long periods can compress the prostate, causing recurrent congestion and an increase in secretions, making it easy to lead to infection. It is recommended that you actively cooperate with your doctor for treatment. During acute recurrences of prostatitis, antibiotics can be taken to alleviate symptoms. If necessary, anti-inflammatory and blood-activating medications may also be added for symptom relief. During treatment, enhance care and strictly prohibit sexual activity. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their condition to ensure targeted treatment and rapid recovery.
