Patient's question:
In recent months, my body has not been urinating and it is very uncomfortable. Even when I do urinate, there is a white discharge in the urethra. I went to the hospital for a check-up and the doctor said that my prostate needs treatment. What is prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be caused by many factors: Unhealthy dietary habits, such as drug abuse or excessive consumption of greasy foods, along with other poor lifestyle choices, can easily lead to damp-heat accumulation in the reproductive organs, causing blood to surge and sexual arousal, which in turn results in the development of prostatitis. Poor lifestyle habits, such as horseback riding, cycling, or prolonged sitting, directly compress the perineum, thereby interfering with the prostate and leading to prostatitis. Additionally, maintaining regular sexual activity, drinking plenty of water, and urinating frequently can all effectively prevent the recurrence of prostatitis.
