Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to consult about some issues regarding prostatitis. Actually, I'm not quite sure what the symptoms are like, and I'm too hesitant to go to the hospital randomly. It feels strange, and if it's not the case, it would be quite embarrassing. Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, sometimes suddenly feeling cold and hot. I've never had this before, and I don't know what's going on. Moreover, what's more serious is that sometimes the urgency feels very painful.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is likely that you have a urinary tract infection. You can go to the hospital for a thorough examination of your urine routine and have an ultrasound of your prostate. This should be able to clarify the condition. Going to the hospital is where you go to see a doctor, so there's nothing embarrassing about it. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself. Go to the hospital with your bladder full in the morning, have the ultrasound examination done first, and then collect a midstream urine sample for testing.The main symptoms of prostatitis include abnormal urination, such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, difficulty urinating, split urine stream, post-micturition dripping, an increasing number of nighttime urinations, and the presence of milky from the urethra after urination or defecation. In addition to receiving standard treatment for prostatitis, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care.
