Patient's question:
My husband is 59 years old. He has recently been experiencing pain while urinating and frequent urination, but he hasn't been drinking much water. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was determined that he is suffering from a flare-up of prostatitis caused by ejaculation. Neither of us anticipated this and we also don't know what kind of illness it is. So, I would like to ask what is a flare-up of prostatitis caused by ejaculation?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described may be due to a careful examination revealing epididymitis and prostatitis, which refers to inflammation in the epididymis and prostate. It is generally non-bacterial, although some cases are caused by bacterial infections. It is recommended that your husband actively cooperate with the hospital's guidance on the treatment plan after a thorough examination and follow the prescribed treatment promptly. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited, alcohol and smoking should be avoided, and foods that are likely to cause inflammation should not be consumed. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication.
