Urgent need to urinate, but unable to urinate, what's going on?

Patient's question:

In recent years, I've experienced a frequent need to urinate, but it feels as if there's something blocking it, making the flow slow and leaving me with the sensation that I haven't fully emptied my bladder after urination. I also often feel aches in my lower back.

Doctor's answer:

You should have some symptoms of prostatitis. It is recommended to use 15g of Astragalus, 12g of Atractylodes, and 20g of Achyranthes decocted in water as tea for warm drinking. Take one dose daily to invigorate the spleen and strengthen qi, as well as to promote diuresis and alleviate urinary discomfort. Additionally, pay attention to a light diet with low salt and low fat. You can eat more fruits and vegetables, such as bitter melon, lotus seed heart, winter melon, Chinese water chestnut, watermelon, Job's tears, corn silk (boiled in water), mung beans, red beans, eggplant, chrysanthemum, and lotus leaves to clear heat and remove dampness.
Since the condition of male genitourinary disease is very serious, it is recommended that the patient seek immediate medical treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
The above advice is hoped to help you. Thank you.
