Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with bacterial chronic prostatitis after a thorough examination at a Grade III hospital a month ago. After treatment, my white blood cell count returned to normal yesterday. I've been a bit stressed lately and sometimes feel a slight stinging pain in my urethra, along with frequent urination. I'm drinking a lot of water. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
If there is a slight stinging sensation at the urethral opening, it is likely caused by inflammation. It is recommended to have a follow-up urinalysis to check for inflammation. If there is inflammation, it is necessary to take dedicated oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. Prostatitis is a condition that is difficult to resolve. Friends with this condition should always maintain an optimistic mindset and face it with a positive attitude. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in combating prostatitis and believe that they will surely recover.
