Patient's question:
Previously, I experienced symptoms of dribbling 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 dribbling and branching appeared less frequently. Now, I sometimes feel a dull ache at the connection point of my left testicle, but it comes and goes. Could this symptom be caused by prostatitis? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
You have an unending stream of urine and a split stream, and currently, there is pain in the left testicle, which aligns with symptoms of prostatitis. It is recommended that you take azithromycin tablets for 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, avoid drinking beer and eating spicy hotpot meals. Take a sit bath for 30 minutes every night. Engage in sexual activity once a week or have 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 timely medication based on their symptoms and pay more attention to self-care in daily life to avoid spicy foods.
