Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling frequent urination and urgency, sometimes needing to go to the toilet several times a night. Also, sometimes I feel like I can't empty my bladder completely, and I often urinate on myself. I want to ask if these symptoms could be prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The main clinical symptoms of prostatitis are frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating. Based on the situation you described, the possibility of prostatitis is quite high, but it is not ruled out that it could be caused by a urethritis infection. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination, including a color Doppler ultrasound, blood and urine tests, and a routine prostatic fluid test. After a clear diagnosis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications and prostate massage methods should be used for treatment. At the same time, it is important to enhance self-care to recover quickly.
