Patient's question:
My husband said that recently, whenever he goes to the toilet, he feels a lot of pain there, but he doesn't know what the reason is. My husband suspects he might have prostatitis, but when I ask him to go to the hospital, he doesn't want to. Could you please tell me how to speculate if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of prostatitis are generally characterized by urgency, frequency, and urethral pain, among other symptoms. If these symptoms reappear, it is very likely caused by prostatitis. Therefore, it is important to promptly visit a hospital for thorough examinations to determine if it is indeed prostatitis. If it is prostatitis, early treatment must be implemented. The sooner the treatment begins, the better the outcome. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
