How many drops of urine does a man produce after he urinates?

Men are under great pressure in modern life, which leads to physical problems for many men. Some men have the phenomenon of dripping a few drops of urine after urinating. If men have this situation, they either have a urinary tract infection or prostatitis. The main cause may be related to eating habits, living habits and personal constitution. No matter what the cause of the disease is, it needs timely treatment.

What is prostatitis

Prostatitis is a systemic or local acute or chronic inflammatory disease caused by specific and non-specific infection of the prostate. Prostatitis can be divided into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, prostatitis (idiopathic bacterial prostatitis), specific prostatitis (caused by gonococci, tuberculosis, fungi, parasites, etc.), non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens (such as viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, etc.), prostate congestion and prostatitis.

According to the course of the disease, prostatitis can be divided into two categories: acute prostatitis and chronic prostatitis.

Acute prostatitis patients will experience systemic symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue. Local symptoms include a sense of heaviness in the perineum or suprapubic area, radiating to the waist, lower abdomen, back, and thighs, and the sense of heaviness will be aggravated when sitting for a long time or defecating; if a small abscess is formed, the pain will be aggravated and defecation will be impossible. Urethral symptoms include burning sensation, urgency, and frequent urination during urination, which may be accompanied by hematuria or purulent urethral secretions. Rectal symptoms include rectal distension, urgency, and a sense of defecation, and white secretions may flow out of the urethra during defecation.

What causes prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a disease with a very high incidence rate and is very confusing. Prostatitis has a certain impact on male sexual function and reproductive function. What causes prostatitis? Prostate congestion, urine irritation, pathogenic microorganism infection, immune factors, etc. can all lead to the occurrence of prostatitis.

1. Prostate congestion: Congestion caused by various reasons, especially passive congestion, is an important pathogenic factor of prostatitis.

(1) Abnormal sexual life: excessive sexual activity and forced interruption of sexual intercourse.

(2) Compression of the perineum: riding a bicycle, riding a horse, or sitting for long periods of time.

(3) Unhealthy lifestyle: excessive drinking and excessive consumption of greasy food.

(4) Excessive massage

(5) Colds and chills

2. Urine irritation: Urine contains a variety of acidic and alkaline chemicals. When local neuroendocrine disorders cause excessive urethral pressure and damage to the opening of the prostate duct, uric acid and other irritating chemicals will reflux into the prostate and induce prostatitis.

3. Infection by pathogenic microorganisms: Various microorganisms such as bacteria, protozoa, viruses, etc. can become sources of infection that cause prostatitis, among which bacteria are the most common, such as gonococci and non-gonococci.

4. Immune factors and allergies: Studies have shown that prostatitis is related to autoimmune factors. Congenital or acquired immune deficiencies produce anti-prostate antibodies, which lead to prostate tissue damage.
