Patient's question:
I have prostatitis, with swelling in the perineum and testicles. It causes pain, frequent urination, and sometimes I can't make it to the bathroom in time, leading to wetting my pants. I also feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. At night, I often get up to use the restroom, sometimes 10 times or more in one night, which disrupts deep sleep. During the day, I feel dizzy and mentally foggy.Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms of prostatitis include: genital pain and discomfort; urinary symptoms such as a burning sensation during urination, urgency, frequency, and painful urination, which may be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge; acute infection can be accompanied by systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue. It is recommended that you first go to the hospital for a thorough examination of urinalysis and ultrasound of the bladder, kidneys, prostate, and ureters. Then, based on the examination results, identify the cause and implement targeted treatment. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, take medication appropriately, and also develop good lifestyle habits and dietary practices during the treatment.
