Patient's question:
I heard from my aunt that she and my uncle are going to the city to treat a disease in a couple of days. It seems that my uncle has been experiencing frequent urination and pain recently, and he has taken some anti-inflammatory drugs, but they haven't been very effective. My dad said he might have prostatitis. What are the symptoms of this inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis mainly manifests as symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, perineal pain, scrotal dampness, and white urine discharge. It can also include symptoms like lower back and knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. It is recommended to seek professional urological treatment as early as possible to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted therapy, thereby avoiding other complications. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor, appropriate medication, avoiding prolonged sitting or riding, and maintaining good personal hygiene are essential.
