Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and difficulty urinating. It's been about half a year now. My sex life has also been unsatisfactory. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you experience symptoms of frequent urination and urgency, the first consideration should be urinary tract infections and prostatitis. Prostatitis is primarily caused by direct spread through the urinary tract, hematogenous dissemination of infection foci from other parts of the body, and various factors that lead to congestion of the prostate, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, and perineal injury. Clinically, it mainly manifests as urinary abnormalities, urethral discharge, mental fatigue, pain, and other symptoms. If you notice any problems, please seek medical attention promptly. After identifying the cause, targeted treatment should be administered. If left untreated, it may lead to symptoms such as prostate cancer, sexual dysfunction, and infertility. During treatment, it is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, drink plenty of water, and avoid prolonged sitting and overexertion.
