Patient's question:
During a health check, the color ultrasound revealed a hypoechoic nodule in the prostate, and it is recommended to undergo a follow-up examination in the urology department. There was no issue last year, but six years ago, varicocele was found on the left side. Occasionally, the end part of urination shows white turbidity. Your wife is pregnant normally. What is the problem, and how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, this situation suggests the possibility of chronic prostatitis. The white and cloudy urine is likely due to the presence of prostatic fluid in the urine. Currently, your wife is pregnant normally, and it is considered that varicocele is mild and has not yet resulted in abnormal semen quality. For now, special treatment may not be necessary.It is recommended to undergo routine prostatic fluid tests and PSA checks to confirm the specific diagnosis of prostatic conditions. For severe cases of prostatitis, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
