Patient's question:
I haven't drunk much water recently, and my body hasn't been sick with things like colds, but I've always felt the urge to use the restroom, with a sensation of frequent and urgent urination. However, each time I go, I don't urinate much, and sometimes it's very difficult to urinate—it feels like I need to but it takes a long time. These symptoms over the past few days have made me feel quite down.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in such cases, it is important to be aware of the possibility of prostatitis. The main causes of prostatitis are the direct spread of urinary tract infections, hematogenous dissemination of infections from other parts of the body, and prostatic calculi. Additionally, various factors that cause prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, long-term, and perineal trauma, are also triggers for prostatitis. It is recommended that if you experience any of these discomforts, you should undergo relevant health check-ups, such as a prostatic fluid routine examination, and consider treatment based on the results.
