Patient's question:
I'm a driver, and I spend a lot of time in the car every day. Recently, I've been feeling uncomfortable downstairs. I often have frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. Sometimes, there's also some pain downstairs, and it feels like prostatitis, but I'm not entirely sure. Could you please tell me where prostatitis is located?Doctor's answer:
The male urethra is divided into four segments: the prostatic urethra, the membranous urethra, the bulbous urethra, and the penile urethra. The prostatic urethra is the innermost part of the male urethra. We refer to the deepest part of the posterior urethra closest to the bladder as the prostate. It resembles a fuzzy lychee in shape and can be felt with fingers through the anus; it is completely encased outside the urethra. Above the prostate is the bladder's trigone, with the left and right seminal vesicles on the sides, the male urethra below, the pubic symphysis in front, and the rectum sloping behind it. Prostatitis patients can, while understanding professional treatment, use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
