Patient's question:
Recently, due to a sudden decrease in my libido, I felt a strange sensation of urethral pain and decided to visit the hospital for a check-up. To my surprise, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Now, I am concerned about the potential complications of prostatitis and would like to know what complications are associated with it?Doctor's answer:
The complications of prostatitis include easy local congestion and edema, or difficulty controlling the urethra. During urination, it may cause difficulties such as incomplete urination, urinary pain, and other issues. Acute prostatitis can also spread inflammation to the seminal vesicles, leading to seminal vesiculitis. Prostatitis requires timely treatment. In daily life, it is not advisable to drink beer, and spicy foods should also be avoided. If possible, taking a sit bath for 20 to 30 minutes each night can effectively alleviate symptoms.
