Patient's question:
I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency recently. The doctor said it's prostatitis. What are the typical symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after suffering from prostate disease, it is common to experience urinary symptoms such as urgency, frequency, and pain. In the morning, there may be white or purulent discharge from the urethral opening, and the urine may be cloudy or leave a white residue after defecation. If the patient's condition is severe, common symptoms of prostatitis may include hematuria, hematospermia, and difficulty urinating. There may also be radiating pain in the penis, testicles, lumbar-sacral region, or groin area. If left untreated for a long time, it can easily lead to sexual dysfunction. Prostate can be used in combination with medications such as ofloxacin or azithromycin for treatment. It is important to abstain from alcohol and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Avoid holding urine and prolonged sitting, pay attention to keeping warm, and strengthen physical exercise.
