Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Also, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, and there's a bit of pain at the urethral opening. The check-up suggested it might be prostatitis. I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me: what are the effective treatments for granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequency, pain during urination, post-micturition dripping, incomplete emptying of the bladder, lower abdominal fullness, and damp scrotum, etc. It is recommended that you undergo routine prostatic fluid examination, prostatic fluid culture, urethral mycoplasma and chlamydia culture. A prostate B-ultrasound examination is also advisable. If the diagnosis confirms prostatitis, it is important to identify the underlying cause and adopt symptomatic treatment targeting the specific cause. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
