Patient's question:
Recently, I haven't been drinking as much water, but I've noticed that I'm going to the bathroom more often than before. I don't know what the reason is, and it's quite concerning what I've read online. So, I'm asking for advice: is it possible that my frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, incomplete urination, and other symptoms could be related to a prostate issue?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the patient has again exhibited clinical symptoms such as urinary urgency, hesitancy, and incomplete urination. It is recommended that the patient return to the hospital for further tests, including blood tests, comprehensive ultra-sound, urine tests, prostatic fluid examination, color Doppler ultrasonography of the urinary system, and color Doppler ultrasonography of the prostate. These tests are to determine whether there is any urinary tract infection, benign prostatic hyperplasia, or prostatitis. It is advised that the patient rest and avoid overexertion, and treatment should be administered based on the specific test results. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
