Patient's question:
I was treated for prostatitis a month ago. During this period, every morning when I have a bowel movement, there is translucent mucus coming out from the urethral opening and in the urine. Then, during intercourse the next day, the semen is slightly yellow, and I'm worried and scared about prostatitis. Is my condition very serious?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is related to alcohol consumption, eating too spicy food, and sexual activity to some extent. It is essential to avoid these unhealthy habits. The current test report shows elevated white blood cells, suggesting inflammation. If semen is not released for a long time, it may appear yellowish. Rest more, maintain a positive mood, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods and alcohol as much as possible. Sexual activity should be strictly prohibited. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication according to their symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
