Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, male, and have premature ejaculation. I also frequently suffer from neurasthenia, poor sleep, urinary urgency, frequent urination, incomplete emptying of the bladder, lack of energy, and often stomach pain. Could you please explain the difference between prostatitis and urinary tract infection?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are primarily characterized by the sensation of frequent urination and pain during urination, while prostatitis is based on the symptom of frequent urination. Generally, when examining a urinary tract infection, a urinalysis may reveal the presence of white blood cells, whereas a urinalysis for prostatitis is usually normal and can be detected through a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
