Patient's question:
Male, initially it was just lower back pain, then gradually some pain in the lower abdomen and perineum area as well. Recently, I noticed I have developed a condition where urine streams are split and urination doesn't seem as smooth as before. Question: Is prostatitis a treatable issue?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is mainly prostatitis infection and urinary tract infection that cause the symptoms. Pay attention to drinking more water and urinating more. This condition still requires taking medication attentively, undergoing reexamination to return to normal, and then stopping the medication. Do not stop medication blindly to avoid repeated infections. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
