Does holding in urine cause prostatitis?

Patient's question:

A year ago, due to excessive holding of urine, a thorough examination revealed prostatitis. Hello, does holding urine cause prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! It is possible. I suggest you seek early treatment for prostatitis and change your habit of holding back urine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a good therapeutic effect on prostatitis. During home treatment, you can complement oral TCM with other measures. In daily life, it is recommended to eat less spicy food, exercise regularly, avoid overexertion, and ensure deep sleep. In addition to medication for prostatitis, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors.
