Patient's question:
It has been a week, and I've been having a slight fever. I've been urinating more frequently, about six to 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. However, there isn't 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 bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, leading to infectious diseases. In addition to various non-bacterial inflammatory conditions, such as mycoplasma and chlamydia infections, medication is required for treatment. If there is a fever, it is essential to consider the rapid replication of pathogens, as severe cases may even enter the bloodstream. Based on symptoms, the possibility of inflammation in the bladder, urethra, or kidneys is greater.
