Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Additionally, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy when I go to the bathroom, and there's a slight burning sensation at the urethral opening. The examination suggested it might be prostatitis, and I'm really worried because I haven't had children yet. Could you please tell me what methods can be used to treat granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequent urination, dysuria, 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 B-ultrasound examination is also advisable. If the diagnosis confirms prostatitis, it is essential to identify the underlying cause and adopt targeted symptomatic treatment. Prostatitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to actively seek diagnosis from professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
