Patient's question:
I have been treated for prostatitis for almost a month. During this period, there has been a translucent mucus discharge from the urethral opening every morning. Then yesterday morning during sexual intercourse, I noticed that the semen was slightly yellow. I don't have frequent sexual intercourse, only once a week. Currently, I haven't experienced any urinary frequency, urgency, or abdominal discomfort. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
If there is a lot of discharge from the urethral opening, it is necessary to have a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of non-gonococcal urethritis. If the test shows signs of non-gonococcal urethritis, there is no need to worry. If there is a case of non-gonococcal urethritis, it is also necessary to conduct a drug sensitivity test. Taking medication based on the sensitive drugs will lead to quick recovery. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain good lifestyle habits and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
