Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing frequent urination lately, and after urinating, I feel like I haven't finished and it's very painful. This has happened again for more than half a month. What could be the cause? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, a urinary tract infection is suspected. It is often caused by drinking too little water, phimosis, and unclean sexual activity. Pay attention to drinking more water and quitting smoking and alcohol. A urinalysis is necessary. If it shows an increase in white blood cells or the presence of pus cells, oral anti-inflammatory medication should be taken. If accompanied by increased nocturia, difficulty urinating, and a feeling of heaviness or swelling in the scrotum, it may indicate prostatitis, which is often caused by prolonged sitting. A prostatic fluid test is required. In fact, having a urological condition is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
