Patient's question:
I originally wanted to go shopping with my friend, but she couldn't come out. The reason is that she is at the hospital accompanying her husband to receive intravenous fluids. Her husband said he had a fever in the morning and also experienced difficulty urinating. It was said that he was diagnosed with acute prostatitis. What other symptoms are there?Doctor's answer:
Acute prostatitis is generally characterized by a sudden onset and can manifest as chills, high fever, accompanied by persistent urinary frequency, urgency, dysuria, a burning sensation during urination, and difficulty urinating. During careful examination, a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood and urine may be detected. Prostatitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly at professional and reputable hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
