Patient's question:
I usually have a busy work schedule and rarely have free time to exercise. My meals are also not very regular, and I often order takeout. I sometimes stay up all night working. Recently, I've noticed pain and blood in my urine when I urinate, and my prostate is also very sore. Is this a symptom of prostatitis? How does prostatitis occur?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is mostly caused by prolonged sitting without adequate exercise and excessive masturbation. It can also be related to bacterial infections, among other factors. The current symptoms are indeed considered to be prostatitis. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. You can take anti-inflammatory or diuretic and heat-clearing medications, but specific medication should be followed by a doctor's advice. Additionally, you should turn around and engage in more exercise. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
