Patient's question:
I feel very uncomfortable, sometimes with abdominal pain. Urine output is very low, but frequency is high, 4-6 times per night. The condition started in April 2010.Doctor's answer:
Frequent urination, urinary urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder are typical symptoms of various male urological diseases. Here, the causes of different conditions need to be identified, and the symptoms should be analyzed accordingly. Below are some common reasons that can cause frequent urination and urinary urgency:1. When experiencing psychogenic urinary frequency: The condition is typically observed during the day and before bedtime, often due to mental tension or being startled. It may also be accompanied by urinary urgency symptoms.
2. When the bladder capacity is reduced: Such as bladder occupying lesions, pressure from an enlarged uterus during pregnancy, or bladder stones.
3. When urine volume increases: An increase in urine volume will correspondingly lead to more frequent urination.
Non-inflammatory irritation: Such as urinary tract stones or foreign bodies, usually manifesting primarily as frequent urination.
4. When experiencing inflammatory irritation: When there is inflammation in the bladder, the nerve sensory threshold decreases, and the micturition center remains in an excited state, leading to frequent urination and reduced urine volume. Therefore, frequent urination is an important symptom of cystitis, especially more pronounced in acute cystitis.
5. When the bladder capacity is reduced: Such as bladder occupying lesions, pressure from an enlarged uterus during pregnancy, or bladder stones.
6. Non-inflammatory irritation: Such as urinary tract stones or foreign bodies, usually manifesting primarily as frequent urination.
Frequent urination, urinary urgency, and incomplete emptying of the bladder are likely signs of chronic prostatitis.
Chronic prostatitis is a common inflammatory disease of the male urological system, where patients may experience symptoms such as post-micturition whitish discharge, incomplete emptying of the bladder, thin urine stream, and difficulty urinating. The treatment of chronic prostatitis is challenging and prone to recurrence. The key lies in many patients receiving improper treatment, delayed treatment, and failing to pay attention to preventive health care after recovery.
