Patient's question:
Doctor, I experienced frequent urination and urgency again during the Chinese New Year, and my urine is also dark yellow with a strong odor. I have already done some tests, which showed urethritis and prostatitis. What other tests should I do in this case? What diseases should I be most concerned about? I am very worried about whether my body might have a serious problem again?Doctor's answer:
Cystitis and prostatitis are both urinary and reproductive system inflammatory infectious diseases. For the treatment of these conditions, it is recommended to undergo thorough examinations at a local hospital, such as routine urine tests, complete blood count, liver function tests, renal function tests, prostate MRI, urethral MRI, and other tests like prostatic fluid bacterial culture, to identify the underlying cause. If the cystitis and prostatitis are caused by bacteria, they can be treated with symptomatic anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medications. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication maintenance. Additionally, male patients should seek treatment at professional and reputable hospitals immediately and consider treatment options based on examination results.
