Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constantly weak all over and having severe lower back pain. I've also been experiencing frequent and urgent urination, with urine splitting and a very unpleasant odor. There's white discharge from the urethral opening, and it feels like a burning sensation. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with prostatitis. What department does prostatitis belong to?Doctor's answer:
Go to the urology department for a thorough examination. Delaying treatment can lead to many complications, such as seminal vesiculitis, orchitis, and symptoms like premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, weak ejaculation, and decreased libido. Because the prostate is a special organ with a hard lipid capsule, it acts as a drug barrier, making it difficult for medications to penetrate to the affected area of the prostate. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Pay attention to controlling sexual activity and maintaining a good mood.
