Patient's question:
I've been urinating a bit frequently lately, but each time I don't urinate much, and I feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. Nighttime urination is also quite frequent. It feels exactly like the symptoms mentioned in TV ads—it seems like it could be prostatitis. If I'm right, what should I do if I really do have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Recurring symptoms of frequent urination and urgency may be indicative of prostatitis, causing irritative symptoms. It is necessary to seek medical attention for further examination and diagnosis. Based on the examination results, anti-inflammatory medication should be administered promptly to address the symptoms. Pay attention to personal hygiene, reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and allow some time for adjustment. The condition can gradually improve. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, maintain a regular lifestyle, and avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
