Patient's question:
Half a month ago, the symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria started to reappear. I have been going to the toilet several times every night, often waking up in the middle of the night due to the urge to urinate. However, when I go to the toilet, I feel anxious but still can't urinate.Doctor's answer:
Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and prostatodynia have clinical manifestations similar to chronic bacterial prostatitis, but without a history of recurrent urinary tract infections. They are primarily characterized by urinary irritation and difficulty urinating symptoms, especially the manifestations of chronic pelvic pain syndrome. Bed rest, increased fluid intake or intravenous fluids, and enhanced systemic supportive therapy are recommended. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
