Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a 34-year-old male. I always have the urge to urinate, and it has been going on for about one or two months. I had a thorough examination and was told that I have prostatitis. I would like to ask you if this condition is serious? How should prostatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Is prostatitis serious? Generally, it needs to be determined by the type of prostatitis and the clinical symptoms it causes. If urinary retention occurs again, it is usually more serious. If purulent secretions appear, it is also relatively serious. It is necessary to perform a prostate ultrasound and a detailed examination of prostatic fluid to confirm the severity of the condition. The treatment method also needs to be confirmed to determine whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial before proceeding with treatment.
