Patient's question:
I am 31 years old this year. In the past two days, I noticed that when I urinate, there is especially some yellowish sediment in it, like the bottom of a pot. Sometimes I also feel like I can't urinate, so I quickly went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said this is acute prostatitis. How long does acute prostatitis take to heal?Doctor's answer:
During urination, yellowish discharge reappears, which means the issue with urination is recurring again. Indeed, it is related to prostatitis. If it is in the acute recurrence phase, as long as effective treatment is obtained, symptoms can generally be completely relieved within one to two weeks. After a period of stabilization treatment, it may heal on its own. It is crucial to take this seriously to prevent acute prostatitis from transforming into chronic prostatitis, as this can have extremely adverse effects on treatment during work. The condition of prostatitis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment at professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations.
