Can urinary urgency become chronic?

Patient's question:

Acute prostatitis: The prostatic fluid has returned to normal, but I still feel discomfort in the urethra and a sense of urgency. Will it turn into chronic prostatitis? I have been treated for 44 days now.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is important to consider the urinary urgency symptoms caused by overactive bladder syndrome. It is recommended that you first conduct a thorough examination of the urine routine and mycoplasma/chlamydia to rule out any urinary tract infections. If the results of these tests are all normal, you can take tolvaptan hydrochloride sustained-release tablets to stabilize bladder function. For patients with prostatitis, while receiving professional treatment, it is advisable to use folk remedies as supplementary therapy in daily life. A proper diet should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
