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 prostatitis at the hospital. What are the potential harms of this condition?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis generally leads to issues with sexual function and may result in prostate enlargement or hyperplasia, causing difficulty urinating. It is recommended that you seek medical attention at a higher-level hospital for a thorough examination. If it is confirmed to be prostatitis, regular follow-up tests are necessary, and sexual activity must be strictly prohibited during treatment. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to visit a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to control sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
