Patient's question:
A careful examination of the prostatic fluid revealed Chlamydia trachomatis infection, but blood tests were negative. I was treated with erythromycin for a week, after which only the symptom of incomplete urination remained, while other symptoms disappeared. I haven't paid attention to it for over two years, but now I still have incomplete urination. I want to ask if the Chlamydia has been completely cured in this case. If I need to retest, what tests should be conducted?Doctor's answer:
This is likely caused by a chlamydia infection. Chlamydia infections are prone to recurring. It is highly possible that your condition is due to a chlamydia infection. You can have a urinalysis done at the hospital for a definitive diagnosis and targeted treatment. Do not self-medicate. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of attacks. If left untreated, it can affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
