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 even worse. My friend said this might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: How is it best to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, the recurrence of urinary pain is likely due to a urinary tract infection. It is recommended to drink a large amount of water to enhance metabolism, and to complement this with oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment, which can improve the current condition and symptoms. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
