Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in my lower abdomen with aching and fullness, which occurs intermittently and isn't constant. Additionally, I've noticed frequent urination. Hello, could this be chronic prostatitis? (Note: I previously had acute balanitis, which was caused by excessive foreskin; I also had scrotal eczema, which is allergic, but the allergen has never been identified—it recurs every 2-3 years, starting from 2008). Is frequent urination a symptom of chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Consideration is given to the inflammatory response of the foreskin and glans that leads to this manifestation. It is recommended that you visit a professional dermatology and venereology department to examine the shed cells for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. This will allow for targeted medication. Recovery is generally expected to be complete within about two weeks. Prostatitis can be alleviated, but treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet and avoid foods.
