Patient's question:
Lately these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, with some pain. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Basically, I've been restless and uneasy. I'm only 62 years old this year, could it be that I have prostatitis? If it really is, please ask: How can prostatitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
