Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Additionally, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a slight burning sensation at the urethral opening. After a check-up, it was said that it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me: what are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is located around the urethra. When it undergoes inflammatory changes again, it stimulates the urethra, leading to recurrent urinary tract irritation symptoms, including frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, nocturia, and increased difficulty urinating. Additionally, due to swelling often occurring during inflammation, it may also cause urinary retention. Severe cases can lead to urinary retention. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment duration is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor, take medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene, and we hope male patients can recover quickly!
