Patient's question:
I've been extremely busy with company matters recently, basically having dinner parties every day. I'm in product management, and my job relies heavily on building relationships with clients, so there are endless banquets, dinner parties, and smoking sessions. Lately, I've been constantly going to the bathroom after drinking beer, and even when I take naps in the afternoon, I often wake up in the middle of the night. Sometimes I can't fully empty my bladder. I went to the hospital for a consultation, and the doctor said it's a problem with my prostate. Can I still smoke with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Some patients do not recover from acute prostatitis, leading to chronic prostatitis over a long period. This ultimately results in the expansion of prostatitis into a chronic stage, which not only causes significant harm to the body but also brings about symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, lower back and leg weakness, and fatigue. Timely treatment can reduce the severity of these symptoms. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
