Patient's question:
Lately, these past few days, I've been feeling uncomfortable when using the restroom, with some pain. Usually, I feel a burning sensation at the urethral opening. Basically, I've been feeling restless. I'm only 40 years old this year, could it be that I have prostatitis? If it really is, please ask: How should one handle prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequency, pain during urination, post-micturition dripping, incomplete urination, lower abdominal fullness and swelling, and damp scrotum, etc. It is recommended that you undergo routine prostatic fluid tests, prostatic fluid culture, urethral mycoplasma and chlamydia culture, and prostatic ultrasound diagnosis. If the diagnosis confirms prostatitis, it is important to identify the underlying cause and adopt symptomatic treatment targeting the specific cause. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment duration is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during treatment are essential. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
