Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I got acute urethritis half a month ago, there was discharge when I went to the toilet, and my testicles swelled. After taking medication for treatment, there has been significant improvement. But now sometimes when I go to the toilet, there is still discharge. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
This situation needs to be considered as the symptoms caused by a urinary tract infection leading to my prostatitis. It is recommended to have a thorough examination of a urine routine at the hospital, and to take urethral secretions for tests of mycoplasma, chlamydia, and gonococcus. Prostatic fluid and urinary system ultrasound should be performed to determine the cause, and then a solution can be chosen. Testicular swelling can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
