Patient's question:
Recently, I've been going to the bathroom frequently during the day, about ten times a day, and each time it's very urgent. As soon as I feel the urge, I can't hold it anymore. Sometimes there's also a little pain down there. My friend said it might be prostatitis. How can I know if it's prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
If the symptoms of frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination reappear, it is likely caused by a urinary tract infection. You can first use some anti-inflammatory medications for treatment. You can choose quinolone-class anti-inflammatory drugs or aminoglycoside-class anti-inflammatory drugs. During the treatment, it is important to drink plenty of water to enhance urine dissolution, which can assist in metabolizing bacteria. You can also go to the hospital for various detailed examinations targeting urinary tract infections. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
