Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, and there's some pain at the urethral opening. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said it was prostatitis. I'm very concerned and would like to ask if prostatitis can interfere with life?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. Bacterial prostatitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection. The causes of non-bacterial prostatitis include factors such as overexertion, frequent sexual activity, medication, and surgery. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a timely examination to identify the condition and take effective treatment, which can lead to self-healing. It is advised to consume more fresh green, watery, and coarse fiber foods, which can help produce more urine and maintain smooth bowel movements.
