Patient's question:
I was recently diagnosed with prostatitis after a thorough examination. Due to training reasons, I often hold my urine, and my family members are very worried. I would like to ask you if holding urine can alleviate the condition of prostatitis patients?Doctor's answer:
From a medical perspective, prostatitis refers to a prostate disease characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain as its primary clinical manifestations, caused by a variety of complex reasons. It is a common condition in urology. Prostatitis can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, lower back pain, abnormal urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Holding urine will continuously exacerbate the fibrosis and enlargement of the gland and worsen the condition. Additionally, if there is a large bacterial or mycoplasma infection, sensitive antibiotics should be taken promptly, followed by anti-inflammatory treatment based on the prescribed course, and regular follow-up tests are necessary. The diet should be light and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Patients should avoid overexertion and pay more attention to rest. Appropriate physical activity can not only enhance the body's resistance but also promote recovery from the condition.
