Patient's question:
I have prostatitis and have been undergoing treatment. Later, I found that my blood pressure is also quite high, which bothers me a lot and makes me feel suspicious. Therefore, I believe it's necessary to understand more and perhaps ask the doctor if prostatitis can lead to high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, prostatitis will never cause a decrease in blood pressure. The main symptoms of prostatitis are possible urinary frequency, urgency, and pain, as well as urinary tract irritation. Additionally, it may also lead to a dull pain and discomfort in the scrotum and lower abdomen. If you have prostatitis, further tests should be conducted to check for bacterial infection. If it is related to bacterial infection, antimicrobial medication should be used.
