Patient's question:
Doctor, I'd like to ask, is my condition related to the prostate or a urinary tract infection? Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, lower abdominal pain, and lower back pain. My sexual life isn't harmonious either; the time during intercourse is very short, about one minute before ejaculation, so I'm worried about getting a male reproductive health issue. I haven't gone to the hospital yet because I'm too busy, so I'm consulting first.Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned should be considered due to various different causes such as urinary tract infection or prostatitis. From the symptoms, both are possible, but the likelihood of prostatitis is higher if there are symptoms of increased sexual function. Regardless of the cause, it is important to promptly visit a regular public hospital's urology department for a thorough examination to confirm the diagnosis, identify the underlying cause, and receive appropriate treatment from a specialist to avoid missing the opportunity to improve the condition.
