Patient's question:
Lately for the past month, I've been experiencing pain during urination. There's also pain in my testicles. Because of the busy training schedule, I haven't had a thorough medical check-up. I often work overtime, and the work pressure is high. My friend mentioned it might be prostatitis. Here, I mainly want to consult about what to do if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a relatively common male reproductive system disease, with its onset related to poor personal living habits, as well as immune function issues, leading to infections by pathogenic microorganisms. Prostatitis can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and incomplete urination. However, these symptoms are not specific, and a diagnosis of prostatitis requires tests such as prostatic fluid tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). If diagnosed with prostatitis, antibiotics can be used for anti-infection treatment during the acute phase. For chronic prostatitis, a comprehensive treatment approach involving physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle interventions is necessary to promote recovery.
