Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Yesterday I swallowed some prostatic fluid, and I noticed it was bitter, which is something I've never experienced before. I don't know if this taste is normal, so I'd like to ask the doctor: is prostatic fluid supposed to have a fishy smell? If not, it's possible that I have a problem.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the taste of prostatic fluid is quite light. If the taste of prostatic fluid is relatively strong, it is likely caused by prostatitis. It is recommended to promptly go to a relevant hospital for prostatic fluid testing to diagnose the condition. If prostatitis is diagnosed, it is best to adopt a conservative treatment method using traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning. Additionally, warm water sitz baths and appropriate massage of the prostate can be used as supplementary treatments. Prostatitis can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment.
