Patient's question:
What should I do if I have prostatitis? Nowadays, I often feel the urge to urinate but it's not much, and there's a bit of pain when I finish urinating. I always feel like I haven't finished urinating. Sometimes there's blood after urinating, and sometimes there isn't. When I'm not urinating, my lower abdomen feels a bit bloated. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, it was confirmed that I have prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, usually chronic, is common and presents with symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, hesitation to urinate, weak urine flow, thinning of the urine stream, and white discharge from the urethral meatus. It is generally caused by the spread of urinary tract infections. Prolonged sitting and frequent sexual activity may exacerbate the condition. Adopt a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol consumption. Cultivate the habit of urinating promptly, as holding urine can cause it to reflux into the prostate. Check for phimosis and, if present, undergo circumcision early to prevent bacteria from hiding and entering the prostate via the urethra. 4. Develop a correct sexual perspective and avoid excessive sexual activity. Release energy through exercise to prevent the prostate from becoming congested due to frequent sexual activity.
