Patient's question:
I am 34 years old this year. A few weeks ago, I was carefully examined and found that I had balanitis. I have been taking medication for treatment, but when I went for a follow-up check-up the other day, the doctor said I had prostatitis. I feel extremely regretful and want to ask the doctor if balanitis can lead to prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if the issue of balanitis reoccurs, it is often more likely to be accompanied by a urinary tract infection. Long-term urinary tract infections can easily lead to the recurrence of prostatitis. It is advisable to promptly visit a hospital for a routine examination of prostatic fluid to further clarify the situation. During daily life, it is important to maintain a light diet and pay attention to hygiene in the lower body.
