Patient's question:
Male, 32 years old, prostatitis. Previously, there was adhesion at the urethral orifice, and he underwent a urethral dilation surgery using a size 7 short probe. It has been over a year now, and the urethral orifice is always dry. Now, it occasionally still feels sticky, and he needs to use his hand to open it. If he doesn't, urination is not smooth. We want to treat it well.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis generally never causes such adhesion symptoms! In many cases, it doesn't need to be extended. You can apply a lot of erythromycin ophthalmic ointment at the urethral opening, which can help prevent adhesion caused by many inflammations and also prevent it from becoming too dry! Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow, and it is prone to relapse after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients need to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods.
