What is prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Can the urologist at the men's health department help me make a guess about the problem with my prostate? I've been feeling uncomfortable recently, and it might be prostatitis. I often experience frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, difficulty urinating, and sometimes feverish chills, dizziness, and fatigue. Please help me make a guess about it!

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequent urination, dysuria, post-micturition dripping, incomplete urination, lower abdominal fullness and swelling, and damp scrotum, etc. It is recommended that you undergo routine prostatic fluid examination, prostatic fluid culture, urethral mycoplasma and chlamydia culture, and prostatic B-ultrasound diagnosis. If the diagnosis is prostatitis, it is essential to identify the underlying cause and adopt symptomatic treatment targeting the cause.
During the treatment of prostatitis, in addition to immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and follow a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the prostate.
