Patient's question:
It has been a week, and I've been running a slight fever. I've been urinating more frequently, six or seven times a night, and I can't sleep well because I'm restless. Every time I feel an urgent need to urinate, and if I'm even a second late, I can't hold it anymore. Yet, there's not much urine when I do. My wife said this might be prostatitis, and I should go to the hospital to get medication for it. I'm wondering if prostatitis requires medication?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, which refers to the location of the prostate, is prone to invasion by many bacterial, viral pathogens, leading to infectious diseases. In addition to many non-bacterial inflammatory conditions, such as mycoplasma and chlamydia infections, medication is required for treatment. If there is a decrease in body temperature, it is certainly considered that the pathogens are multiplying in large quantities, and in severe cases, they may enter the bloodstream. If based on symptoms, the possibility of inflammation in the bladder, urethra, or kidneys is greater.
