Patient's question:
I am really very troubled. I was diagnosed with prostatitis earlier, and now I have symptoms like urinary urgency, dysuria, and incomplete urination. Occasionally, I also experience urine splitting. My sexual life has also started to have problems. I am still very young, and I really feel very helpless. Please ask: what are the hazards of a prostatic abscess?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis abscess is a complication of acute prostatitis, urethritis, and epididymitis. The most common causative organisms are aerobic gram-negative bacilli, followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Patients are typically aged 40-60, with symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary obstruction, or urinary retention. Perineal pain, acute epididymitis, hematuria, and purulent urethral discharge are less common. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the severity of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
