Patient's question:
I recently feel uncomfortable when using the restroom, and I'm a bit suspicious it might be prostatitis, so I want 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 lower abdominal heaviness and discomfort. It may also lead to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. In severe cases, it can result in premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Therefore, you may consider getting a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate and a prostatic fluid analysis at a Grade III-A hospital or a public hospital to confirm the diagnosis.Prostatitis tends to recur frequently, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are important. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
