Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have noticed white, viscous substances in my urine, and sometimes I experience lower abdominal pain while walking. Is it prostatitis? How is it treated?Duration and onset of the current illness: It has been about a week.
Current general condition: Taking ofloxacin tablets.
Medical history: Had it before.
Previous diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes: Treated with traditional Chinese medicine.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the urine becomes white at the end of urination, which may be a sign of leukocyturia. This is due to higher levels of androgens in the body and increased secretion of prostatic fluid. During urination, passive contraction of the smooth muscles in the prostate causes the overflow of prostatic fluid. This is particularly noticeable at night, as the penis remains passively erect, further stimulating the secretion of glandular fluid, leading to leukocyturia upon urination in the morning. Occasional occurrences of this nature are normal. However, in cases of chronic prostatitis, inflammation can also lead to leukocyturia. If left untreated, it may progress to severe prostatitis and frequent premature ejaculation or involuntary ejaculation. It is recommended to seek medical attention at the urology and reproductive medicine department early if the condition recurs, for a clear diagnosis and standardized medication treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
