Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis. Today, urination is a bit not smooth and requires effort to urinate (it's just this time today). Is it a problem with my kidney function? I'm afraid that if I can't urinate properly, it might lead to hydronephrosis in the bladder and eventually turn into uremia. As for taking medicine, I'm worried it might be harmful to the kidneys.Doctor's answer:
Your check report indicates that your kidney function is normal, with no issues. You have chronic prostatitis, and it is recommended that you actively seek treatment. You can take Prostect and Levofloxacin tablets for treatment. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink less alcohol.When the volume of urine in the bladder exceeds a certain limit, it cannot be expelled, which can lead to urinary retention. You will not be able to tolerate this and will need to find a way to empty it. It cannot return to the kidneys, which may result in hydronephrosis. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
