I have been experiencing burning after urination for the past 10 months. The problem is intermittent, sometimes it resolves for a few days and then comes back. Earlier, a culture test showed UTI, and I was treated with antibiotics. Along with burning, I also sometimes have frequent urination. My doctor did a rectal exam and said this is chronic prostatitis. I am currently taking Flotral and will be starting Urispas from today. A KUB ultrasound has also been advised again (the last one, about 7 months ago, only showed mild segmentation). Please suggest what I should do next.

Burning after urination with intermittent frequency can occur in chronic prostatitis, as your doctor mentioned. Continuing Flotral and Urispas as advised is appropriate. A KUB ultrasound is good to recheck for stones or prostate changes. If symptoms persist, a Urine Culture and PSA test may help in further evaluation. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and spicy foods to reduce irritation.

Since this morning, I have been noticing a slight presence of blood in my urine. My lab report also shows albumin ++ in the urine. Additionally, my blood report indicates neutrophils at 77 percent and lymphocytes at 19 percent.

I have attached the medical report for your review. The findings mention that the walls of the bladder are thickened, and one kidney is smaller in size. I would like to understand what complications can arise from this condition, what treatment options are available, and what precautions should be taken. Is this a life threatening disease, or can it reduce my friend lifespan? Also, I am worried, will he have to spend the rest of his life bedridden?
