Patient's question:
I am a college student. Besides classes, I usually 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. Is the harm of prostatitis significant?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can lead to kidney inflammation, and with age, prostate enlargement can interfere with urination. Chronic prostatitis can even lead to cancer. It is recommended to seek early treatment for prostatitis to avoid future complications. Early medical examination is advised. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
