Patient's question:
I've been having the urge to urinate frequently lately, and soon after using the restroom, I feel the need to go again. It feels like I can't empty my bladder completely. I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was told I have prostatitis. Could you please advise on what to do about frequent urination and incomplete bladder emptying?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis-induced frequent urination and incomplete urination may be caused by inflammation transmission due to neglecting personal hygiene. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination at a reputable hospital and receive treatment such as intravenous fluids and anti-inflammatory medications based on the condition. It is advisable to drink more water to enhance urination, consume more fruits and vegetables, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, maintain a light diet, exercise moderately to improve physical fitness, and consistently practice good personal hygiene.
