Patient's question:
Last year, I developed acute prostatitis, which later turned into chronic. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: After a year of treatment, the check-up results showed all indicators were normal, but the symptom of frequent urination did not improve. There was one night urination at night, and no other issues. What kind of help I am seeking: Please advise on how to solve the problem of frequent urination.Doctor's answer:
Hello, frequent urination is not solely caused by prostatitis; other conditions can also lead to it, such as urinary tract infections or cystitis. However, having one nighttime urination is normal and does not need to be a concern. It is advisable to undergo a thorough examination of a urine test and an abdominal ultrasound to understand the situation. Do not feel mentally stressed, and pay attention to hygiene, engage in appropriate activities, enhance your physical fitness, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy, stimulating foods, alcohol, and smoking. Additionally, avoid prolonged sitting. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
