Patient's question:
I have a very bad habit. The doctor said that it is easy to cause urinary retention. I feel very worried. I would like to ask you, what is the difference between urinary retention and prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of urinary retention are many and are generally divided into obstructive and non-obstructive types. For urinary retention, it is recommended to use a hot water bag or cold compress on the lower abdomen. Prolonged sexual activity poses significant health risks, especially increasing the likelihood of prostatitis. Urinary retention refers to the inability to empty the urine. Prostatitis can lead to a series of symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary pain, and lower abdominal discomfort. Currently, it is advised that patients promptly undergo medication for anti-infection treatment and quit sexual activity as soon as possible to cooperate with medication for anti-infection therapy.
