Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year. I have the habit of masturbation for several years. Recently, masturbation has become more frequent, and my overall mental state has also declined. Moreover, I have recently experienced pain in my urethra. I think I have prostatitis. What exactly is a detailed examination for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be considered as possibly related to prostatitis, which is directly associated with long-term and frequent masturbation. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a follow-up examination. The specialist doctor should conduct thorough examinations such as color Doppler ultrasound, CT scans, routine prostatic fluid tests, blood and urine tests, and digital rectal examinations based on the actual condition. This will allow for a clear and definitive diagnosis if prostatitis is present. Once confirmed, timely and appropriate treatment should be initiated, and the unhealthy habit of masturbation should be immediately abandoned.
