Patient's question:
I have a swollen and painful penis, and it also itches during the day. There's some erosion as well. Is it prostatitis that I have? I always have frequent urination and urgency, and I have to go to the bathroom at least four times an hour. Each time, only a little urine comes out.Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is mainly caused by direct extension through the urinary tract infection, hematogenous dissemination of infection foci from other parts of the body, and various factors leading to prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, and perineal injury, which are also triggering causes of prostatitis. Clinically, it is primarily characterized by urinary abnormalities, urethral discharge, mental exhaustion, pain, and so on. If not treated in a timely manner, it may lead to symptoms such as prostate cancer, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. If you encounter any problems, please seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered to avoid delaying the condition. Below are some highly professional hospitals recommended for you: Zaozhuang Municipal Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College, and Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University.
