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. Factors such as frequent sexual activity, high-risk sexual behavior, and various infections of the urinary system can also contribute to the onset of prostatitis. Therefore, treatment for prostatitis-related conditions should be tailored to the specific symptoms. Additionally, 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 drugs, combined with vitamins, while also maintaining a regular schedule and avoiding alcohol.
