Patient's question:
I am 61 years old this year. Recently, I have always felt frequent urination and urgency, so I suspect I might have prostatitis. However, I heard that prostatitis has many different types, so I am now confused. Hello, how can you distinguish the types of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Considering your age, in addition to considering prostatitis, it may also be necessary to rule out the possibility of recurrent prostate hyperplasia. Prostate hyperplasia can also cause symptoms of frequent urination and dysuria. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination of the prostate ultrasound and prostate CT. If prostate hyperplasia and fibrosis occur, mild symptoms can be treated with oral medication. If the symptoms are severe, surgery is generally recommended. For patients with severe prostatitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and to follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent the condition from worsening. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
