Patient's question:
I started having sex when I was in third or fourth grade, not knowing what I was doing. Gradually, I got used to it. Sometimes, I had three or four times a day. I feel like I have kidney deficiency, and my prostate is enlarged. I have problems with urination and defecation, and I think I might have prostatitis. I don't want to go to the hospital. Can prostatitis heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Having an excessive sexual habit since adolescence is the main cause of prostatitis. If you experience symptoms of urinary urgency, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating again, you must go to the urology department of a hospital for a follow-up visit as soon as possible. Do not delay, as it is very difficult to recover from prostatitis without treatment, and delaying treatment will only worsen the symptoms, leading to adverse effects on future treatment. Sexual activity is just one factor that can lead to prostatitis, and other causes must also be taken into consideration. In addition to timely treatment, patients with prostatitis need to maintain a good mood in their daily lives, as a positive attitude is very helpful for a complete recovery. Thank you!
