Patient's question:
My urination frequency has started to increase continuously, mainly at night with 5-6 episodes, and each time lasts longer than before. Besides the feeling of fullness and pain, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into acute and chronic types. Due to the different pathogens causing prostatitis, there are differences between acute and chronic forms, and thus their symptoms also have subtle variations. However, they generally manifest as urinary tract symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, and prostate pain. Acute prostatitis, if left untreated for a long time, can easily develop into chronic prostatitis, which can have a significant impact on male fertility, sexual function, and the kidneys. Additionally, the inflammation can be transmitted to the female partner during sexual activity, causing gynecological conditions such as cervical inflammation and vaginitis. Due to the complex and varied causes of prostatitis, it is difficult to treat it effectively. The Nine Dragons Urology Specialized Hospital has improved the prostate classification therapy.
