Patient's question:
I am a patient with prostatitis. Recently, I underwent frequent hydrotherapy with a sitz bath. After the sitz bath, my prostate's excretory function has been enhanced, leading to the secretion of a large amount of prostatic fluid. Even with a slight sexual desire, there is a significant amount of mucus oozing from the urethral opening. During bowel movements, there is also a considerable amount of white liquid oozing from the urethral opening.How could taking oral Prostect tablets also lead to this enhanced excretory function of the prostate? Now, the excretory function of the prostate is already very strong. How can it be restored to normal? What treatment should be administered?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you have described, it is advisable to consider the possibility of this symptom being caused by an inflammatory response in the prostate. It is recommended that you undergo a thorough examination of prostatic fluid, including bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing, to ensure targeted medication. Generally, symptoms can be resolved within two weeks, and daily anal sitz baths can help alleviate discomfort. There are many treatment methods for prostatitis, but since symptoms vary among patients, the diagnostic approach may differ. Therefore, it is advised that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
