Patient's question:
I suspect I have prostatitis. I've been feeling extremely weak lately, with no sex drive, and sometimes my body is cold while other times it's hot. I've also been urinating more at night, and occasionally I experience pain down there, which seems like a symptom of prostatitis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Is it necessary to have professional testing to confirm prostatitis, or can it be diagnosed solely based on symptoms? Fatigue and frequent nighttime urination are related to urinary system disorders, but they do not necessarily indicate prostatitis. Other potential issues include bladder inflammation, urinary tract infections, orchitis, or poor kidney function. It is important to visit a urology department in the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Only by identifying the specific cause can effective treatment be administered. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after recovery. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
