Patient's question:
In the middle of the day, I have already gone to the toilet ten times, always feeling like I can't fully empty my bladder, and the urethral opening looks quite red. Is prostatitis causing the redness of the urethral opening?Doctor's answer:
Frequent recurrence of urinary pain and urgency may lead to repeated redness and swelling of the urethral meatus. Prostatitis can cause urethritis, which in turn can lead to redness and swelling of the urethral meatus. A strong urine odor may be a cause of urinary tract infection, but it may not necessarily be the case and cannot be generalized. Urinary pain generally refers to discomfort such as pain or burning sensation in the urethra during or after urination. During treatment, it is also necessary to rest in bed. Avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a calm mood, and do not have too much stress.
