Patient's question:
I am urinating now, and I always feel a stinging sensation in my urine, especially at night. The symptoms of frequent urination and urgency are very severe. Sometimes I feel the urge to urinate, but I can't. Now, I would like to ask if this could be a problem with the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause recurring symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. If you suspect prostatitis, you can visit a formal medical institution to conduct a thorough examination and laboratory test of prostatic fluid. Additionally, you can undergo tests such as color Doppler ultrasound, bacterial culture, and drug sensitivity tests for a definitive diagnosis, which helps clarify the condition. Once diagnosed, treatment is primarily based on the examination results, with targeted medication. At the same time, it is important to break bad habits, avoid prolonged sitting, and refrain from drinking beer. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life.
