Patient's question:
Lately this week, I've been very uncomfortable when urinating. At first, there was occasional pain when I started urinating, but now I have frequent urination, urgency, and a burning sensation. I've heard that prostatitis can also cause these symptoms. Doctor, do I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
When urinating, if there is discomfort, it is basically considered to be inflammation and irritation. If the pain is occasional or if there is persistent relief, it may be caused by Mycoplasma or Chlamydia. Additionally, prostatitis can cause pain, as bacteria from the prostate gland can spread to the urethral opening or urethra, resulting in more noticeable pain. For now, quinolone or macrolide drugs can be considered. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
