Patient's question:
Previously, I experienced symptoms like continuous dripping and branching. A few weeks ago, I went to the hospital, and the doctor recommended an ultrasound. After reviewing the results, the doctor said there was some inflammation in the prostate and suggested taking medication to resolve it. However, I got busy and forgot which medication to take. Later, by drinking more water and maintaining a regular routine, the symptoms of branching and continuous dripping appeared less frequently. Now, I sometimes feel a dull ache at the connection point of my left testicle, but it comes and goes. Is this symptom likely caused by prostatitis? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
You have an unending flow of urine and a split stream, now experiencing pain in the left testicle, which aligns with symptoms of prostatitis. It is recommended that you take azithromycin tablets for 2-3 weeks. On a daily basis, avoid drinking beer and consuming spicy hotpot meals. Take a sit bath for 30 minutes each night. Have sexual intercourse once a week. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay close attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
