Patient's question:
I am a college student. Besides classes, I usually enjoy playing computer games in my dormitory. I spend a lot of time sitting, and I also lack exercise. Recently, I've noticed that I can't urinate cleanly when I go to the bathroom, and there's also white discharge leaking out. After doing some research, I found it might be prostatitis. I'm still so young, so I'm wondering: What are the symptoms of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is generally characterized by frequent urination, urgency to urinate, and sometimes white discharge from the urethral opening. Long-term prostatitis may lead to symptoms such as infertility. The general oral medications for prostatitis include maintaining cleanliness in the perineal area at all times and avoiding prolonged sitting. The condition of prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is essential to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, pay attention to personal hygiene, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
