Patient's question:
Recently, I have been experiencing symptoms of frequent urination. Every time I urinate, I feel a lot of pain. The urine is yellow and has a burning, stinging sensation. Later, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Poor lifestyle habits can lead to prostatitis. Eating spicy food can stimulate the digestive tract and cause congestion in the urinary tract, making it easier to develop constipation. All of these are very detrimental to the local metabolism and decomposition of the prostate, which can lead to the recurrence of inflammation. Some causes are occupational, such as long-distance drivers, while others are habits, like playing mahjong while sitting for 4 to 5 hours. On one hand, increased abdominal pressure puts greater stress on the prostate. On the other hand, when sitting, the prostate gland is in a horizontal position, with its prostatic urethra and the prostatic ducts opening into it also in the same horizontal plane. Therefore, if there are bacteria in the urine, it is easy for them to flow backward into the ducts, triggering inflammation.
