Patient's question:
Lately, I've been constantly feeling the urge to urinate, and sometimes there's a slight pain in my groin area. When I urinate in the morning, there's something jelly-like coming out. I quickly went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's chronic prostatitis. This is a bit confusing for me, as I don't have any bad habits like smoking or excessive drinking.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Prostatitis is often caused by urethritis, seminal vesiculitis, or epididymitis, but it can also be caused by infections from other parts of the body spreading through the bloodstream to the prostate; non-infectious prostatitis is often caused by excessive drinking, sexual activity, long-term cycling, or masturbation. Prostatitis does not necessarily have to do with sexually transmitted diseases. In recent years, there have indeed been many cases of sexually transmitted disease patients suffering from gonococcal prostatitis, mycoplasma prostatitis, and chlamydial prostatitis. Therefore, prostatitis may also be a symptom of sexually transmitted diseases. When prostatitis is detected, it is important to carefully analyze the cause. If necessary, laboratory tests for gonococcal double, mycoplasma, and chlamydia should be conducted to determine the exact cause. Below are some relatively professional hospitals recommended for you: Shijiazhuang First Hospital, Qinhuangdao First Hospital, and Kaiguan General Hospital.
