Patient's question:
My life has always been very regular and hygienic, but recently for the past few weeks, I've been experiencing severe pain when urinating, and my urine is also split. It's also not very comfortable when I sit down. As a result, the doctor said this is chronic bacterial prostatitis, but my life is so healthy.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis has many factors or causes, such as prostatic calculi, urinary tract infections, rectal and colon inflammation, frequent excessive drinking, overconsumption of alcohol, cycling, horseback riding, and holding back urine. Treatment requires identifying the type, such as chronic bacterial prostatitis, which manifests as urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria, discomfort and a heavy sensation in the perineum, lower abdomen, scrotum, inner thighs, and waist/back, urination may discharge white mucus, sometimes painful ejaculation, and may be accompanied by decreased sexual function. Treatment requires selecting appropriate antibiotics while ensuring sufficient sleep, and avoiding spicy foods and prolonged sitting.
