Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I carefully checked and found urethritis. I am currently taking medication for it. In the early days of treatment, my urethritis symptoms were particularly noticeable. I experienced frequent urination and urgency, but couldn't urinate, and it was extremely painful when I did. It is said that urethritis can affect sexual function. Does urethritis affect sexual function?Doctor's answer:
The condition of urethritis may affect sexual function because it can cause recurring issues such as frequent urination, urgency, and urethral pain. It is recommended to visit a regular urology department for a thorough examination. You can use some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory cleaning agents for wiping, and take antiviral and anti-inflammatory medications. In terms of diet, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of warm water, and prevent constipation. For male patients, timely treatment can reduce the recurrence of the condition. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
