Patient's question:
Doctor, a friend of mine had sudden fever and frequent urination a few weeks ago. At first, they didn't take it seriously, but it became increasingly severe. When they went to the hospital for a check-up, they discovered they had acute prostatitis. Recently, I've also been experiencing some frequent urination and urgency, and sometimes feel a bit weak. I suspect I might have this condition, but I'm not sure. So, I'd like to consult more details about the symptoms of acute prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis includes symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, burning sensation, and sometimes lower abdominal pain. However, not everyone with these symptoms necessarily has prostatitis; it could also be due to a urinary tract infection or stones. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit the urology department for a follow-up, get a urinalysis, and have an ultrasound to diagnose the condition. In daily life, it is important to drink more water, avoid sitting for long periods, not hold in urine, and eat more fruits and vegetables.
