Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! Last morning when I went to bed to urinate, I noticed that I had developed a split stream again, and there was a slight sensation of dysuria. Last night when I had sex with my wife, my penis was very painful. I went to the hospital and was told that I have prostatitis with a split stream. I would like to know what causes a split stream and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis affects some men, and it is divided into aseptic inflammation and bacterial inflammation. Bacterial inflammation is caused by infections from bacteria and other pathogens. Aseptic inflammation is caused by poor lifestyle habits, excessive sexual activity, and benign prostatic hyperplasia, among other factors. Bacterial inflammation requires the use of antibiotics for treatment. If aseptic inflammation is not severe, medication treatment is not necessary. It is important to avoid prolonged sitting, engage in appropriate physical activity, and quit smoking and drinking. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the recurrence of the condition.
