Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria. Difficulty urinating, increased nocturia, and pain or discomfort in the perineum are also distressing symptoms. In severe cases, the condition can lead to sexual dysfunction, causing inconvenience and pain in daily life and work. Later, I was diagnosed with prostatic calcification at the hospital. What are the hazards of this disease?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not treated promptly, can lead to prostate hyperplasia, affecting bladder control and causing urine to be unable to be completely emptied, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is an excellent culture medium for bacteria, and with the compromised defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa, it is highly prone to causing urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If treatment is not thorough at this stage, it can progress from pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis to nephritis, and ultimately to uremia. During treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. It is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
