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. In terms of sexual life, problems have also started to arise. I am still very young, and I truly feel very helpless. Please ask: How much does it cost to check for prostatitis at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Got prostatitis, the first step is to identify the cause before implementing treatment. Prostatitis is a common disease among men, so what causes prostatitis? There are many reasons for prostatitis, including long-term irritation from standing or sitting for extended periods, excessive smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods, phimosis (excessive foreskin), frequent sexual activity or overindulgence in sex, and unclean sexual experiences. Most men do not pay enough attention to the cleanliness of their genitalia, especially those with phimosis, as bacteria can easily accumulate in the foreskin area. If proper hygiene is not maintained by frequently cleaning the genital area, it may lead to infections, resulting in conditions such as balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and prostatitis. This can then interfere with sexual quality of life, and in severe cases, it may even lead to infertility.
