Patient's question:
A while ago, when my wife and I had sex, I often felt weak and unable to perform. It usually only took a few minutes to finish, and my wife kept complaining. Recently, I've been feeling some premature ejaculation. At night, I sometimes have a fever, and in the morning, I experience urgency, pain, and incomplete urination. I searched online and found it might be related to the prostate. Which department should I go to for a prostate examination?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is an inflammatory condition in urology, characterized by frequent urination, urinary pain, incomplete urination, and affects normal sexual function, except for fever. It is essential to get a prostatic fluid test as soon as possible to determine the type of prostatitis—whether it is bacterial, non-bacterial, or specific prostatitis. Different types of prostatitis require different treatment methods and medications. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is crucial to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, proper diet and avoiding sexual activity are important. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
