Patient's question:
Always uncomfortable, feeling bad, can't sleep. Can urethritis turn into prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Cystitis can potentially develop into prostatitis. We understand that the urethra and prostate are actually connected. When there is inflammation in the urethra, if the inflammation cannot be controlled or spreads upwards through urinary bacteria, it can cause the prostate to also become infected, leading to prostatitis. This can result in acute recurrent prostatitis, accompanied by systemic infection symptoms, such as pain in the perineum and above the pubic bone, urethral irritation, and rectal irritation.
