Patient's question:
I have always been single, and I have physical issues related to sexual intercourse, as I have a habit of having sex. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with prostatitis, weak urination, intermittent flow, incomplete urination, accompanied by fever symptoms, and sometimes abdominal pain. Over these two years, I have taken many medications, but the effects have not been very significant. This year, I have started experiencing frequent urination, painful urination, and urgency. I also feel like I have a fever every afternoon, and the fever only subsides at night. After two days of this condition, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the result was that the inflammation had worsened and turned into a prostatitis abscess. What are the causes of the prostatitis abscess?Doctor's answer:
The most common general infections are caused by E. coli, followed by mycoplasma and chlamydia infections. After these pathogens infect the body, they may reappear periodically, causing many symptoms of prostatitis, such as fever, high fever, and urinary obstruction. The urethra may again exhibit symptoms like weak urination and incomplete emptying. These symptoms may recur, or lower abdominal pain may appear, along with some prostatic inflammation caused by bacterial infection. These infections can quickly harm the prostatic ducts, continuously expanding to form abscesses.
