Patient's question:
I am a college student, and besides attending classes, I enjoy playing computer games in my dormitory. I spend a lot of time sitting, and I also 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 asking: How should prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis pain refers to any discomfort or pain in the prostate. The prostate surrounds the posterior urethra, which is the necessary pathway for urine to flow from the bladder. Prostatic fluid is added to form semen, and many diseases of the urinary and reproductive systems can lead to the development of prostatitis pain. The symptoms of prostatitis pain vary greatly among individuals, with chronic prostatitis being one of the common causes. Acute prostatitis and prostatic abscess can also cause prostatitis pain, but they usually improve with infection control and pus drainage. Local advanced prostate cancer can also lead to prostatitis pain, and this type of pain is often difficult to relieve. The following content mainly discusses prostatitis-related prostatitis pain.
