Doctor's answer:
A urologist explains that men with prostatitis can effectively alleviate symptoms by drinking an appropriate amount of water and urinating regularly. For men with excessively long urination intervals, prolonged accumulation and concentration of prostatic fluid in the posterior urethra may irritate the urethra, making it more susceptible to infection. In some cases, the fluid may even "leak" outside the urethral meatus without urination, causing redness at the urethral opening. Drinking more water allows for thorough flushing of the urethra through urine, facilitating the excretion of prostatic fluid. This helps maintain the safety of the prostate and can also alleviate symptoms of prostatitis.
