Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, I caught a cold. After recovering from the cold, I don't know why there started to be a discharge from my urethral opening, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. Please ask: What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause recurring symptoms such as urinary urgency, dysuria, frequency, splitting of urine, and hesitation to urinate. It is recommended that patients undergo a routine examination of prostatic fluid to confirm the diagnosis and receive targeted treatment. If it is indeed prostatitis, it can be treated with medication. Pay attention to daily regulation to prevent recurrence. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
