Patient's question:
I've been feeling like there's some difficulty in urination lately, and it also hurts a bit downstairs when I urinate. I took some anti-inflammatory medicine at home for a few days, but it didn't improve at all. My brother said I might have chronic prostatitis and told me to go to the hospital quickly. Hello, how is chronic prostatitis checked?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, incomplete urination, urinary pain, and hematuria. It tends to recur repeatedly and can lead to sexual dysfunction with long-term dilation. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit the urology department promptly for a follow-up examination, including a prostate MRI and a routine prostate fluid test, to clarify the condition and receive appropriate treatment. In the meantime, drink plenty of water and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
