Patient's question:
My urine is a bit salty, but not very salty. Is it possible that I have prostatitis? This situation has occurred again for more than a week. Sometimes urination is a bit painful. Am I suffering from prostatitis? How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing symptoms of painful urination again, which may be caused by a urinary tract infection or prostatitis. In your case, I recommend that you visit the urology department of a hospital promptly for a thorough examination. Trying to taste your urine at home is very unhygienic, and I advise against doing so. Relying on this method cannot provide a definitive diagnosis. It is best to undergo urine tests and prostatic fluid tests to accurately determine whether the symptoms are caused by a urinary tract infection or prostatitis.
