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. Could you please tell me what are the treatment methods for granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequency, pain during urination, post-micturition dripping, incomplete urination, lower abdominal fullness, and damp scrotum, etc. It is recommended that you undergo routine prostatic fluid tests, prostatic fluid culture, urethral mycoplasma and chlamydia culture. A prostate 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 recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
