Patient's question:
I've been urinating more frequently at night lately, and it's often difficult to empty my bladder. There's also a pain during urination. I initially thought it was due to some stomach issues from staying up late recently, but after a few days of feeling better, there's no sign of improvement. My wife accompanied me to the hospital, and the doctor said it's prostatitis. I'd like to ask what might have caused the prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
The causes of prostatitis include several factors, such as holding urine for a long time, poor personal hygiene, frequent bowel movements, and consuming spicy and irritating foods. These can all lead to prostatitis. It is recommended to seek timely symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Oral antibiotics and detoxifying medications should be taken, and drinking more warm water can help improve the body's metabolic processes. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment.
