Patient's question:
There are two issues. The first is that after urinating, there is only a sense of urine but it doesn't come out, and it's trapped inside. The abdomen feels very tight and it's hard to push it out. It feels like the bladder isn't contracting but only expanding, with a bulging sensation in the lower abdomen, as if there's something hard inside. The second issue is that it's difficult to have a bowel movement. When straining to defecate, the abdomen feels very tight but the stool still doesn't come out. Sometimes the stool that does come out is thin and sticky, clinging to the toilet. When straining to defecate, it feels like the lower abdomen is pressing down. During the process, it feels as if both urine and stool are trying to come out, but neither can be expelled, both gathering at the anal opening. It's similar to the urethral opening right after using the restroom. After just two minutes, the bladder is filled with more urine, and even after urinating, it still feels uncomfortable. Residual urine has also been tested, but what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Considering there might still be prostatitis, do you have any anorectal diseases? It is recommended that you visit the anorectal department of the hospital for a targeted digital rectal examination to identify the cause and then receive symptomatic treatment! Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid stimulating foods, and not smoke or drink beer.
