Patient's question:
I want to consult about whether my symptoms are prostatitis or a urinary tract infection? Frequent urination, urgent urination, urinary retention, lower abdomen, pain in the testicles, intermittent discomfort in the genital area?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is highly possible that it may be a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination, including a urinalysis and a detailed check of prostatic fluid. Pay attention to hygiene to prevent downward transmission. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, aiming for about 2000ml of urine per day to flush the urethra. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Prostate conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment promptly in a professional and regular hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results.
