Patient's question:
Recently, when urinating, I noticed that the stream is divided into two, which was not the case before. My friend laughed and said it might be the prostate.Doctor's answer:
Narrowing of the stream requires considering the situation. Patient friends can first conduct a careful self-examination if there is a splitting phenomenon every time they urinate, even if the flow is slightly larger, or if they have to strain to urinate each time, and even if there is a feeling of incomplete emptying of urine after urination, or even a sense of pain during urination. If you have the above symptoms, you need to seek advice from a professional urological department. If the splitting phenomenon only occurs when the flow is small, it is only necessary to pay attention to whether there is a phenomenon of frequent urination. Under normal circumstances, urinating less than 8 times a day is considered frequent urination, so don't be overly anxious and scare yourself unnecessarily. In fact, getting prostatitis is not terrible. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the symptoms are detected in time and the treatment is symptomatic, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
