Patient's question:
I often suffer from frequent urination, especially at night. Not only do I have to keep getting up and moving around, but I also always feel like I can't empty my bladder completely, with the sensation of not being able to urinate properly or finish urinating. Frequently, my body also experiences various pains and discomforts, tormenting Mr. Liu to the point where he can't stand it anymore, and he is gradually becoming more and more frail.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, prostatitis is primarily characterized by urethral irritation symptoms and chronic pelvic pain. It may involve discomfort or pain in the perineum, suprapubic region, groin area, and genital region. During urination, there may be a burning sensation, urgency, frequency, or pain during urination. It can also be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge.Recommendations: It is recommended that you undergo comprehensive treatment for prostatitis in a timely manner. You should be diagnosed with the specific type of prostatitis at a formal hospital.
