Am I suffering from prostatitis or urethritis?

Patient's question:

At first, it was the head of the penis that was affected. Later, after seeing a doctor, they prescribed Fosfomycin Tromethamine Powder and Compound Polymyxin B Ointment. After taking them, I felt better, but a week later, I felt uncomfortable in my urethra. After urinating, I felt like I still needed to urinate but couldn't. The urethral opening was deep red, and sometimes I felt like something was coming out. I then went to a hospital that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine, where the doctor said either I should have the foreskin removed or buy some Jie'eryin to wash with. Later, I bought Levofloxacin Hydrochloride and Longqing Capsules to take. Is this prostatitis or urethritis?

Doctor's answer:

The main consideration is the interference of balanoposthitis, so at this time it is necessary to pay attention to hygiene, wash more frequently. If there is time and conditions, consider undergoing a circumcision surgery, which is beneficial for reducing the recurrence of this symptom. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the incidence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting.
