Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 32 years old and male. I have recently been experiencing discomfort in my lower body, often with itching, and difficulty urinating. I had a thorough check-up at the hospital and was told I have prostatitis. I would like to ask if prostatitis is serious?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a relatively serious urological disease and a persistent ailment for men. It can have adverse effects on normal daily life and sexual function, and in severe cases, it may also impact fertility. It can also harm a man's dignity. The current symptoms are quite severe, and it may not be solely a prostate issue. There might be a secondary neurological disease involved as well. Therefore, thorough examination and testing are still necessary.
