Patient's question:
Yesterday's urinalysis showed no elevated white blood cells, but there is pain at the base of the penis. Could it be prostatitis? The urinalysis is normal. How should prostatic fluid be examined? Will it be embarrassing?Doctor's answer:
It is possible that it could be prostatitis, and it is recommended to undergo antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment. Short-term oral α-blockers can be taken, along with quitting smoking and alcohol consumption. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and avoid excessive frequency of sexual activity. Prevent local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect, with the method being a sitz bath (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes). Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow.
