Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, 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, they said 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, urinary urgency, urinary pain, increased nocturia. At the same time, due to swelling often occurring during inflammation, it can also cause difficulty in urination, and in severe cases, it may lead to urinary retention. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and avoid prolonged sitting or riding. Pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
