Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis and sometimes experience difficulty urinating. Sometimes, when I feel the urge to urinate but it doesn't come out, I press on my bladder a few times or forcefully push it out. I'm afraid this might lead to hydronephrosis, nephritis, or even ultimately develop into uremia. I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
Difficulty urinating can lead to urinary retention, which further increases pressure on the ureters and kidneys. In severe cases, it can indeed cause hydronephrosis and ureteral dilation. It is recommended to conduct bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing on prostatic fluid. Treatment with sensitive antibiotics should be determined based on the drug sensitivity results. If the prostate is divided, it is necessary to treat the prostate simultaneously. Additionally, during the treatment of prostatitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
