Patient's question:
What causes frequent urination, urgency, and insomnia?Doctor's answer:
Recurring symptoms of frequent urination and urgency should first be considered as potential infections in the urinary system and prostatitis. Prostatitis is primarily spread through direct extension from urinary tract infections or hematogenous dissemination from other infectious foci in the body. Additionally, various factors leading to prostatitis exacerbation, such as excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, and perineal trauma, are also contributing causes. Clinical manifestations mainly include urinary abnormalities, urethral discharge, mental fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. If symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. After a clear diagnosis of the underlying cause, targeted treatment can be administered. If left untreated, it may lead to complications such as prostate cancer, sexual dysfunction, and infertility.
