Patient's question:
I have prostatitis, but I'm not sure if it's bacterial or non-bacterial because I haven't had sexual intercourse, just sexual activity. Hello, how can you know if prostatitis is bacterial?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial prostatitis is primarily caused by bacterial hematogenous or retrograde transmission to the prostate, mainly manifesting as frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, difficulty urinating, fever, general body weakness, fatigue, perineal fullness, dull pain, and discomfort. The first step in treating bacterial prostatitis is to rest in bed, avoid strenuous exercise, and refrain from consuming spicy, irritating foods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
