Patient's question:
I have a history of sexual activity, and now the condition has recurred repeatedly. Suddenly, it appeared today. When straining during a bowel movement, white sticky fluid flows from the penis, followed by pain in the testicles. Sometimes it improves, but at other times it still hurts, accompanied by lower back pain and general fatigue. Can chronic prostatitis resolve on its own?Doctor's answer:
1, Chronic prostatitis is a major health issue for men and one of the most challenging conditions encountered by urologists. It is the most common urological disorder in men under the age of 50, with approximately 2 million outpatient cases annually. Recently, according to epidemiological estimates, its incidence rate ranges from 5% to 8.8%. In the United States, each urologist identifies an average of 173 new cases per year.2, Chronic prostatitis can weaken male sexual function, trigger gynecological diseases in women, disrupt endocrine balance in the body, and affect daily life and work. Therefore, we should actively prevent it by drinking more water, urinating frequently, practicing restrained sexual activity, maintaining good lifestyle habits, and preventing prostatic congestion, among other measures.
