Patient's question:
These days, I've been drinking a lot of water, and every time I drink, I feel the need to use the restroom within a few minutes. It's like I'm constantly running to the bathroom all day. The doctor suggested taking heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine to treat this condition. I'd like to understand if it's okay to have sexual intercourse after taking heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine for frequent urination?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are more likely to be caused by a urinary tract infection. During treatment, sexual activity should be avoided, as it can easily worsen the infection. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for a routine urine test to confirm the diagnosis. You can take oral antipyretic and detoxifying drugs, and levofloxacin for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, change underwear frequently, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not engage in unsafe sex. The daily treatment for male patients mainly involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, while maintaining a regular schedule and avoiding alcohol. We hope that male patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
