Patient's question:
I am 15 years old. Recently, I have been experiencing frequent urination and a strong urge to urinate, and occasionally, I also have episodes of blood in my urine. I did some research, and I found that my symptoms are similar to those of prostatitis. I suspect that I might have prostatitis, but I'm not sure. I want to know if it's possible to have prostatitis at 15?Doctor's answer:
Recurring frequent urination and urgency, in addition to hematuria, suggest that it is not a simple case of prostatitis but may be related to nephritis. If there is excessive sexual activity during puberty, it could be prostatitis caused by masturbation. This point must be clearly understood. During the examination, it is essential to be thorough and comprehensive. For severe prostatitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can assist you. Thank you.
