Patient's question:
Will chronic prostatitis turn into urinary retention, kidney function decline, hydronephrosis, and uremia?Doctor's answer:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia can lead to bladder urine retention to a certain extent. It is best to have regular follow-up examinations. If there is significant bladder accumulation of urine, it may lead to obstructive nephropathy, causing kidney function to deteriorate. However, if timely treatment is provided, kidney function may potentially be reversed. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to avoid prolonged sitting.
