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. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis, and I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me what are the possible causes of granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is one of the common diseases among adult males. Although it is not a direct life-threatening disease, it severely affects the quality of life of patients. Prostatitis accounts for 8% to 25% of urology outpatient cases, and approximately 50% of men will be affected by prostatitis at some point in their lives. It is best to conduct further careful examination to determine the cause—whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial—since different treatments are required for different types. It is better to undergo thorough examination and then receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to increasing sitting and standing, maintaining regular sexual activity, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
