Does prostatitis cause a sticky urethra?

Patient's question:

Today when I finished urinating, I suddenly noticed that the urethral opening had appeared sticky again. Then I urinated again but didn't have it again. Later when I urinated again, it didn't flow on its own. Only when I pushed did it have a little bit of stickiness. Does prostatitis cause sticky urine?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, prostatitis does not significantly interfere with urine. Urine is produced by the kidneys and temporarily stored in the bladder. However, due to the recurrence of prostatitis, the increased prostatic fluid may mix with urine, which may lead to inflammatory symptoms. It is recommended that you consult a professional urologist for a thorough examination of the urethra and the shedding of prostatic fluid, as well as for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing, to determine the sensitive antibiotic. Generally, it can return to normal within about two weeks.
