Patient's question:
I was treated for prostatitis a month ago, and after the treatment, there has been a recurrence of translucent mucus dripping from the urethral opening every morning when I have a bowel movement. I haven't had much sexual activity, and sexual intercourse usually occurs once every two weeks or a week. During this period, there has been a recurring presence of translucent mucus at the urethral opening every morning. Should I go to the hospital for this condition?Doctor's answer:
You have chronic prostatitis, which requires active treatment. It is recommended that you have your prostate fluid checked at a hospital to make an accurate diagnosis, and then receive active symptomatic treatment. At the same time, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not drink beer. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment at professional and regular hospitals, and treatment should be considered based on examination results. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking, and pay attention to personal hygiene.
