Patient's question:
Male, 35. I've been feeling uncomfortable at the urethral opening when urinating recently. During cold weather, there's an increase in urination frequency, weak urine flow, and I'm very scared, fearing a serious illness. What are the causes of frequent urination and urgency?Doctor's answer:
If you have frequent urination and urgency, there are generally two reasons: one is prostatitis, and the other is a purely folk transmission. If you are male, the possibility of prostatitis is the highest. Therefore, I suggest you go to the hospital for a prostate ultrasound and a careful examination of your urine to make a judgment. If it is considered to be prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia, you can do a few tests of prostatic fluid, culture to find sensitive bacteria, and use antibiotics for symptomatic treatment.
