Patient's question:
I had the habit of masturbation in high school. Now, five years later, I still have the sensation of foot fatigue, frequent urination, and shortness of sexual intercourse. Recently, I went to Shenzhen Wanfeng Hospital for a follow-up examination. The doctor conducted a thorough check-up, including prostatic fluid, blood, and urine tests, as well as a test for something called Mycoplasma (I forgot the name). The results showed that I have prostatitis, premature ejaculation, and balanitis urethritis. So far, I have spent around 12,000 RMB. For the prostatitis, the hospital used a "cavitation insertion surgery," which I underwent once. Additionally, I received magnetic therapy and was given intravenous drips of glucose every day for a week. The medications included lactate and levofloxacin injections. For the premature ejaculation and balanitis urethritis, I had surgery. Now, I have been experiencing edema for six days and have been going to the hospital daily for intravenous drips of glucose, along with lactate and levofloxacin injections. Today, I came in again for infrared treatment to reduce the edema. This treatment is also required daily. The doctor said that I will need more treatments in the future.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute prostatitis is primarily characterized by a sense of fullness and discomfort in the perineum, with more pronounced dull pain in the lower abdomen, which can radiate to the lumbar-sacral region, penis, and inner thigh. It may also recur symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, or hematuria. The onset is relatively sudden. Chronic prostatitis is mainly characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination, a feeling of incomplete urination, urethral burning, and pain. The pain is often a sense of fullness and twitching, radiating to the glans penis and perineum, accompanied by discomfort in the suprapubic region and lumbar-sacral region. Treatment involves selecting medications that are highly sensitive to bacteria.
