Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination again. Sometimes, when urinating, my testicles hurt very much, and I have lower abdominal pain every day. After a thorough examination, the doctor said I have a prostatitis condition. Could you please explain what causes prostatitis abscess?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis abscess is a complication of acute prostatitis, urethritis, and epididymitis. The most common causative organisms are aerobic gram-negative bacilli, followed by Staphylococcus aureus. Patients are typically aged 40-60, with symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary obstruction, or urinary retention. Perineal pain, acute epididymitis evidence, hematuria, and purulent urethral discharge are less common. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment at a hospital as soon as possible. In addition to medication for prostatitis, patients also need to pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet to avoid spicy foods. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
