Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling like there's some urine in my bladder that I can't fully empty, and I have to go to the bathroom every few minutes. Each time, I can only urinate a little bit, and there's a pain during urination. There's also white discharge at the urethral opening. What kind of help do I need: What are the causes of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Some are due to professional reasons, such as long-distance drivers, while others are due to habits, such as playing mahjong while sitting, for 4 to 5 hours at a time. On the one hand, increased abdominal pressure puts greater stress on the prostate. On the other hand, when sitting, the prostate gland is in a horizontal position, with its prostatic urethra and the prostatic ducts opening into it at the same horizontal plane. Therefore, if there are bacteria in the urine, it is easy for them to reverse flow into the ducts, triggering inflammation.
