Patient's question:
That's right, I've been having chills on and off recently, and then my body gets hot. I measured my temperature with a thermometer, and it was 38 degrees Celsius. I also feel very tired. At first, I thought I was sick with a fever, but then I noticed I have frequent nighttime urination, and it's very urgent. My friend said it might be a problem with the prostate! What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is very common in clinical diagnosis. Generally, the treatment approach involves anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medications. Of course, shivering and a drop in body temperature do not necessarily indicate prostatitis. Frequent nighttime urination and a decrease in body temperature may suggest issues with the kidneys, such as acute glomerulonephritis, which has a certain correlation with previous upper respiratory tract tonsillitis. This is primarily caused by streptococcal infection, leading to the use of cephalosporin antibiotics.
