Patient's question:
I'm quite lazy, and the office is a bit far from the restroom. I often hold back when I feel the urge to urinate, only going to the restroom when I can't hold it anymore. My colleague told me that this can be harmful to the prostate. I'm somewhat skeptical, so I'd like to ask, what are the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
There are several causes that can lead to male prostatitis, and holding in urine is just one of them. Long-term frequent sexual activity, high-risk sexual behavior, and various infections in the urinary system can also cause prostatitis. Therefore, treatment for prostatitis should be targeted based on the specific condition. At the same time, it is important to break bad habits in daily life, such as avoiding holding in urine for long periods. Only then can prostatitis be gradually cured.The daily treatment of the prostate primarily involves oral medications. You can take some oral medications along with vitamins, and it is also important to maintain a regular schedule and avoid alcohol.
