Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination. I thought it might be urethritis, so I took some anti-inflammatory medication, but it hasn't improved after a week, and it's even getting worse. At night, I keep getting up, and it's freezing in the winter—it's unbearable. Plus, my urine doesn't empty completely. The worst part is that when I have sex with my wife, I finish in just a few minutes. She suspects I might have prostatitis. What should I do about prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis are primarily manifested as a burning sensation, urgency, and frequency during urination. It may also be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge. In severe cases, prostatitis can lead to premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Your condition is similar to prostatitis, so it is recommended that you visit a formal hospital for a thorough examination. If it is confirmed to be prostatitis, it is crucial to seek timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.In addition to receiving prompt treatment for prostatitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude toward the disease. Only in this way can their immunity be strengthened and their determination to combat the illness be enhanced. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care and monitor any changes in their symptoms, believing that this will help eliminate prostatitis.
