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 urethra, and I've also been experiencing lower back pain. In recent days, it has become increasingly severe. My friend said this might be prostatitis. I would like to ask: What is prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is more likely that you are experiencing symptoms caused by ureaplasma urealyticum infection. It is recommended to pay close attention and carefully observe the current condition, and seek medical attention promptly to undergo thorough examination and treatment at the urology department of a hospital. During the treatment period, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary. Prostate conditions tend to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals promptly, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to limit sexual activity, maintain a positive mood, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
