Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethral opening, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. Please ask: What causes prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Besides causing symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, which are relatively uncommon, some prostatitis can also manifest symptoms of neurasthenia, frequent dreams, fatigue, and blurred vision, which are actually symptoms of other underlying conditions. In some cases of acute prostatitis, hematuria may also occur. Here, we advise men to not overestimate the severity of prostatitis, as it can be stabilized, but the treatment duration is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a balanced diet during treatment. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible.
