Why do weight-loss pills cause prostatitis flare-ups?

Patient's question:

These past few days, I've been taking a week's worth of weight loss pills. Then, during a period of intense stress, I experienced a strange sensation in the anal area. After ejaculation, I felt like I hadn't fully released, with a bloated sensation, and it took me twenty to thirty seconds to urinate. The flow was very weak and split. Is this caused by the weight loss pills? What are the ingredients of the weight loss pills? Are the side effects temporary or permanent?

Doctor's answer:

The patient is a 24-year-old male who has been taking weight-loss medication for a week. During ejaculation, he experiences a strange sensation in the anal area. It takes him about thirty seconds to urinate when he feels the urge, and the urine stream is thin. The weight-loss medication is unlikely to be related to the above symptoms of prostatitis. It is recommended not to be overly anxious and to stop taking the weight-loss medication. Instead, adopt a balanced diet combined with exercise to manage weight. Regarding prostatitis, it is essential to seek treatment from a regular medical institution in the urology department. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, the patient should receive timely and symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
