Patient's question:
Is frequent urination a sign of prostatitis? I've been under a bit of stress lately, is it also easier to get prostatitis again? I rarely have sexual intercourse, and when I press my lower abdomen with my hands, I feel a sense of urgency. If there is a need, how is it treated?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis may cause symptoms of frequent urination, but frequent urination does not necessarily indicate prostatitis. However, based on your description alone, it is still not possible to confirm the cause of your frequent urination. It could also be a urinary tract infection, such as urethritis or cystitis. At this time, a diagnosis cannot be made. It is recommended that you revisit the urology department of a hospital for further examination. Detailed tests such as MRI and urinalysis are necessary. After diagnosis, active treatment should be initiated. Prostate conditions tend to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment immediately at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity.
