Patient's question:
I want to know if I have prostatitis. There is urine leakage when I sit down or just after finishing using the toilet. Sometimes, even when I hold it in, urine still leaks out, but I don't have any other discomfort. I've gone to the doctor, and they just looked at my brother and said I have a urinary tract infection. But everything online says it's prostatitis. How can I know if I have prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
There are two possibilities: one is that you might have urethritis, and the other is that it could potentially be a problem with prostatitis. However, based on your condition, it is more likely to be caused by prostatitis. For severe cases of prostatitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this could worsen the condition. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene to prevent infection.
