Patient's question:
Doctor, my boyfriend is 24 years old. He usually smokes and drinks beer, but he doesn't smoke much and doesn't like drinking water. However, he always says he needs to urinate and can't hold it in. Whenever he has the urge to urinate, he has to go to the toilet. The urine is also very yellow. I want to ask, what could be the reason for the urgency to urinate and the yellow urine?Doctor's answer:
If a 24-year-old male experiences yellow and urgent urination again, the first consideration should be a urinary tract infection, which is characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. If the infection is severe, symptoms like back pain and fever may also occur. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a urinalysis to confirm the diagnosis. Oral antibiotics, such as ofloxacin, can be used for treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and avoid holding urine. The daily treatment for male patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications along with some vitamins and pay attention to a diet that includes light, soft, and easily digestible foods. We hope that male patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
