Sai Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Sai Sharma, a 42-year-old software engineer and avid cyclist, initially dismissed his discomfort as a sports injury. Persistent fever, chills, and painful urination became debilitating. Diagnosed with acute bacterial prostatitis that formed an abscess, his urologist, Dr. Kapoor, recommended transurethral drainage to avoid the abscess rupturing. The procedure was quick, and Sai vividly remembers the instant relief from the intense pressure. Recovery involved two weeks of antibiotics and temporary lifestyle changes. Emotionally, he felt frustration at his body's betrayal but later embraced a lesson in listening to his health signals, returning to cycling with renewed appreciation for his well-being.
