Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, needing to visit the restroom dozens of times a day. There's also some pain and redness around the urethral opening when I urinate. What should I do? How should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
From the symptoms you mentioned, it seems like a urinary tract infection, but it is necessary to go to a formal hospital to perform a urinalysis and a blood test. If it is indeed a urinary tract infection, a midstream urine culture needs to be conducted to determine what bacteria is causing it. Symptomatic antiviral treatment should be administered. If it is missed for a long time, it may lead to pyelonephritis, which could ultimately result in chronic kidney disease. Please seek timely treatment to avoid missing the best opportunity for treatment. Acute prostatitis is also possible. You must go to the hospital for verification. If you don't go to the hospital, leaving behind sequelae will be very embarrassing, so you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. The daily treatment for patients with urological diseases mainly involves symptomatic medication. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to their diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods.
