Patient's question:
I got married last year, and recently I've been feeling weak in my sexual performance. Additionally, when I go to the bathroom, I've noticed that my urine is cloudy, 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 are the treatments for granulomatous prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of prostatitis include urgency, frequent urination, dysuria, post-micturition dripping, incomplete urination, lower abdominal fullness and swelling, and damp scrotum, etc. It is recommended that you undergo routine prostatic fluid examination, 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 the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take timely symptomatic medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
