Patient's question:
I have symptoms such as difficulty urinating, a split stream, and incomplete urination (occasionally, but it wasn't like this before; there's no frequent urination or urgency). I also have a history of scrotal dampness (which started when I was around 13 or 14), varicocele, and other symptoms. Additionally, I have a history of sexual activity (I started at 15, and it was frequent during the school semester, about once or twice a day, but usually less often otherwise). Recently, I've noticed decreased libido, no pleasure during ejaculation, and many hard acne on my face. It seems like I might have premature ejaculation, and I feel that my penis is smaller when flaccid compared to before. This has been going on since around 2011. Here is the history and effectiveness of the treatments I've received:I had a detailed examination of prostatic fluid, and the doctor reviewed the test results and said it was prostatitis. He prescribed Compound Xuanju Capsules, but after taking two, I didn't feel any improvement.
The varicocele was diagnosed through a scrotal ultrasound, and the doctor prescribed Longbi Shu for two boxes, but taking it didn't make me feel any better.
Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, it is highly likely that you have prostatitis. Additionally, prostatitis can lead to a decline in sexual function. For your condition, it is recommended to visit a urology department at a hospital and undergo a prostate examination.The doctor will ask: Male diseases can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long. Moreover, it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during treatment and take medication appropriately. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
