Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis. Currently, I have a condition where during urination, it feels like I need to urinate but it goes back in. It takes about two or three attempts like this for the urine to finally come out. Does this count as urinary difficulty? Will it develop into urinary retention and hydronephrosis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis-induced urinary difficulties may lead to urinary retention, but it will never cause hydronephrosis. It is essential to actively seek treatment. It is recommended to take medications specifically designed for prostatitis, following the prescribed course. It is best to visit an urology clinic for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication correctly, and adopt a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
