Patient's question:
Previously, the re-examination said there was no problem. During the hot summer this year, I always felt uncomfortable with a sensation in the urethra. The left side of the private area is still slightly swollen, and the scrotum feels damp. Could it be a recurrence of prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of prostatitis are diverse, which can include pain and discomfort in the perineum, pubic area, groin, and genital region. Urinary symptoms may include a burning sensation during urination, urgency, frequency, and painful urination. Initially, antibiotics can be taken orally for 2 to 4 weeks, and then the choice of antibiotic treatment can be adjusted based on the feedback of its effectiveness. Alpha-blockers are recommended to stabilize urinary symptoms and pain, and herbal preparations can also be chosen. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment.
