Patient's question:
Recently, when I urinated, I felt like I didn't have enough strength, and I often couldn't finish urinating in one go. It felt like frequent urination and incomplete emptying. After a few days, my lower abdomen also started to hurt. My friends advised me to go to the hospital to check it out, saying it might be prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it seems you are considering the possibility of prostatitis. Generally, issues with the urinary system are often caused by prostate-related conditions. Let's take a look at the early symptoms of prostatitis: after urination, there may be a dull pain or a lingering sensation in the urethra, residual urine dripping, or discomfort in the lower abdomen. None of these symptoms align with the normal physical sensations experienced after urination. Due to weakened urination ability, the urine stream becomes thinner, especially when the gland is fibrotic, making the edges of the urethral opening uneven, which severely affects the urine stream.
