Patient's question:
Doctor, hello, lately I've been feeling like I'm urinating a lot and not feeling completely empty. Then my friend said it might be a symptom of bacterial prostatitis, but I don't really understand these things, so I wanted to ask you: Is frequent urination and not feeling completely empty a symptom of bacterial prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Excessive urination and incomplete urination are common clinical diagnoses in urology. Most cases are caused by urinary tract inflammation, prostatitis, or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostatitis is one of the reasons for excessive urination and incomplete urination, but it is not the only factor. Therefore, the recurrence of excessive urination and incomplete urination does not necessarily mean it is caused by prostatitis. It is important to promptly visit a regular public hospital's urology department for follow-up, undergo tests such as color Doppler ultrasound, blood and urine routine tests, and prostatic fluid routine tests to confirm the diagnosis. A specialized doctor should then provide targeted treatment based on the underlying cause, which will lead to faster and better recovery from the disease.
