Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 25 years old this year. A few days ago, during a class reunion, a friend of mine was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis. Later, a few days after that, I started experiencing some urinary frequency and urgency. I feel a bit embarrassed to ask my friend directly, but I also don't know if I have chronic prostatitis. I am very worried, so I would like to consult you in detail about the symptoms of chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis can reappear with symptoms such as a dull ache and fullness in the lower abdomen, soreness in the perineum, frequent urination, weak urine flow, urinary urgency, dribbling urine, urine splitting, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Factors such as frequent masturbation, uncontrolled sexual activity, and prolonged sitting can easily lead to the recurrence of prostatitis. After redeveloping this condition, it is important to avoid frequent masturbation, control sexual activity, and not develop a habit of long periods of sitting. Taking oral antibiotics for treatment can help restore normalcy. For patients, if the condition of prostatitis is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to the recurrence of prostatitis. Additionally, patients should always maintain a cheerful mood.
