Patient's question:
I am 19 years old this year, and I often experience frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. In the morning when I go to bed, I feel a soreness in my lower back. The urine is light yellow, and the doctor suspects that it might be due to skin breakdown and constipation. I have undergone thorough examinations in a top-tier hospital. I would like to ask if prostatitis can cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is a chronic condition with a prolonged treatment duration, requiring relatively strict management. There is a special tissue structure surrounding the prostate, making it difficult for drugs to penetrate its interior. This is also a primary reason for the recurring nature of prostatitis. Currently, clinical diagnosis primarily relies on physical therapy combined with appropriate medication to achieve effective treatment outcomes.It is recommended that you revisit the hospital for follow-up and, under the guidance of a doctor, develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition to ensure complete recovery. Additionally, self-care measures should be taken in daily life, such as: drinking more water, ensuring adequate rest, increasing physical activity, avoiding cold exposure, not holding in urine, preventing excessive sexual activity, reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods, and quitting smoking and alcohol. For severe cases of prostatitis, immediate medical attention is advised, and treatment should be initiated based on the doctor's recommendations.
