Patient's question:
I have a relative who always reappears without any reason, followed by a series of bad symptoms, such as the feeling of frequent urination, urgency, and pain. He has already started to get a thorough check-up for prostate diseases. I would like to ask everyone if chronic prostatitis can transform into uremia? Thank you for your replies.Doctor's answer:
The prostate is a male reproductive organ. Chronic prostatitis mainly tends to lead to prostate enlargement, resulting in symptoms such as difficulty urinating, but it generally does not cause uremia because it has little impact on kidney function. However, it can easily lead to urinary tract infections, which can severely affect a man's health. If a person suffers from prostatitis, they must actively seek medical attention at secondary or tertiary hospitals and consult with a urologist for treatment based on their specific condition.
