Patient's question:
I recently feel uncomfortable when using the restroom, and I'm a bit suspicious it might be prostatitis. So I'd like to ask, how can I figure out how I got prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the main symptoms of prostatitis are a sense of heaviness and discomfort in the scrotum, which may also be accompanied by a sense of heaviness and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Additionally, symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria may reappear. In severe cases, there may also be premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Therefore, you may consider visiting a Grade III-A hospital or a public hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate and a prostatic fluid test to confirm the diagnosis.Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
