Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency. My prostate is a bit swollen and red. I visited a urologist, who said I might have some prostatitis. He advised me to be more careful in my daily life and prescribed medication. I need to take the medication and then undergo a check-up. I have very clean sexual habits and no bad habits, so how could I get prostatitis? What causes prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The causes of prostatitis may include improper sexual activity, prolonged sitting, or lack of regular exercise. In addition to bacterial infection, urinary irritation may also lead to prostatitis. Frequent sexual intercourse can also cause prostatitis. If prostatitis occurs, timely treatment is necessary. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, and use warm water to clean the genital area during daytime naps in the evening.
