It is not recommended for patients with chronic prostatitis to hold their urine. Urine retention can lead to excessive bladder filling and increased intravesical pressure, which may exacerbate symptoms of prostatitis. Furthermore, holding urine may cause urinary reflux into the prostate, leading to additional irritation and potential infection. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis should develop the habit of urinating at regular intervals and avoid prolonged urine retention. At the same time, maintaining good lifestyle habits, such as avoiding prolonged sitting, practicing good personal hygiene, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods, can also help alleviate symptoms of prostatitis. During treatment, patients should actively cooperate with the treatment plan prescribed by their doctor, take medications as scheduled, and attend follow-up appointments regularly to promote recovery.
