Patient's question:
I started experiencing frequent urination about two days ago, with over 10 times a day, and had to get up several times at night. I couldn't sleep well at all. Then, when I felt the urge to urinate, I went to the toilet but only managed to release a little urine, and it also caused some pain during urination. I bought some medicine from a pharmacy myself, but it didn't work. The nurse at the pharmacy suggested I see a urologist.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the increased frequency of nocturnal urination suggests a higher likelihood of prostate-related conditions. It is recommended that you visit the urology or andrology department at a local hospital for a diagnosis. The doctor can perform a digital rectal exam or a routine prostatic fluid test to help confirm the diagnosis. In daily life, avoid prolonged sitting, holding back urine, excessive fluid intake before bed, and maintain moderate sexual activity while paying attention to sexual hygiene. Developing good living habits will help improve your symptoms.
