Patient's question:
I had been taking prostate medication and was feeling much better. I got the course of medication from the hospital. But a few days ago, I had sex many times. After sex yesterday, I felt pain when I urinated right after using the restroom. Is it possible that the condition has flared up like this? Should I focus on taking medication? What kind of medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
A 23-year-old male with chronic prostatitis has shown improvement after medication treatment, but symptoms return after sexual activity. In your case, it's a good sign that the treatment is effective, but it's best to avoid sexual activity during the treatment period to prevent the inflammation and kidney deficiency from worsening. Your current condition suggests that the previous treatment wasn't thorough enough, and symptoms have returned after sexual activity. You still need to focus on medication treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, while delayed treatment may affect fertility.
