Patient's question:
I have been having sexual activity for about five or six years. Last year, I started to abstain from sex. Before that, I didn't have any symptoms of frequent urination, but later, I experienced it for a period of time. After resting for a week, the symptoms improved. There has indeed been some improvement, but yesterday I felt a bit of frequent urination and went to the bathroom three times during the night. When sitting, there was no sensation, but when I pulled my abdomen straight, I felt discomfort. Is it prostatitis? Did it be triggered by abstinence, or by holding in urine?Doctor's answer:
It could be a urinary tract infection, possibly triggered by sexual activity. It's best to visit a hospital for a thorough examination and symptomatic treatment. You can take some levofloxacin capsules orally.Make sure to exercise regularly to strengthen your body and immune system. Get adequate rest, avoid overexertion, maintain a regular diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should seek timely medication treatment.
