Patient's question:
When I was young, I never paid attention to staying warm, and then I got prostatitis back then. But I never took it seriously, didn't take any medicine, and didn't do anything about it. Recently, this condition has become a bit more serious. What can severe prostatitis lead to?Doctor's answer:
If prostatitis cannot be treated properly in the long term, it is very easy for the prostate to become enlarged again. Once the prostate is enlarged, it may obstruct the urethra, leading to difficulty in urination. If there is always urine residue in the bladder each time, it is also harmful to the kidneys.On the other hand, prostatitis requires medication for treatment, and it can also be addressed using instruments to remove the infected prostatic fluid through minimally invasive means, which can be more effective. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If it is not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment.
