Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency for four months. The day before yesterday, I had a prostate examination, and the doctor said there were no major issues, advising me to drink more water. I felt better, but after eating barbecue yesterday, the frequent urination started again. I had a urinalysis done twice, which showed elevated white blood cells and red blood cells. A kidney function test revealed high uric acid levels. A urine culture showed no growth of bacteria over three days. What other tests should I undergo? What dietary precautions should I take due to high uric acid levels?Doctor's answer:
This situation suggests that a thorough check should still be conducted for confirmation. This is primarily related to your regular diet, and prostatitis cannot be ruled out. During this period, sexual activity should be avoided. It is advisable to consume more nutritious and healthy foods, maintain good personal hygiene, and refrain from sexual habits. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
