Patient's question:
I have had this illness for over 3 years, and it keeps recurring, causing unbearable pain. I always feel the urge to urinate at the urethral opening, but I cannot urinate properly. I can't urinate while standing; I must squat down to be able to urinate. Premature ejaculation. Sometimes I have lower back pain. I have taken many antibiotics, in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, but my condition improves and worsens intermittently. Sometimes there is a sudden, intermittent pain at the urethral opening (an indescribable sensation), and sometimes my urine streams split. I am desperate for help.Additionally, does this condition interfere with my partner becoming pregnant? If it does, will it be harmful to the child if she becomes pregnant?
Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is mainly spread through direct urinary tract infection, hematogenous dissemination from other parts of the body, and various factors that cause prostatitis to flush blood, such as excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, and perineal injury, etc. These are also the causes that lead to prostatitis. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as urinary abnormalities, urethral discharge, mental exhaustion, pain, etc. If not treated in time, it may lead to symptoms such as prostate cancer, sexual dysfunction, and infertility.
