Patient's question:
I'm only 21 this year, and recently I've noticed that the frequency of my urination has significantly increased. I haven't been drinking much, yet after each time I urinate, I always feel like I can't completely empty my bladder. Then, I have the urge to urinate again within less than an hour. Today, when I was urinating, I felt a bit of pain at the urethral opening, and there was also some white discharge. I immediately went to the hospital to see a doctor, who told me I had prostatitis and needed to be treated promptly. I don't understand why I would get prostatitis at such a young age. I want to know why I got prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms mentioned above are an increase in the frequency of urination, accompanied by pain at the urethral opening, and the presence of white discharge leaking out, which is known as "urinating with white drops." These symptoms are manifestations of prostatitis. Prostatitis is not related to age, and its recurrence may be related to irregular daily routines, diet, or poor sexual behavior, such as sexual intercourse.
