Patient's question:
I had severe pain when I urinated, with some discomfort, and lately I've been experiencing frequent urination. I noticed that my urethral opening often has white discharge, which feels very dirty. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the result was prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause recurrent pain and discomfort in the perineum, pubic area, groin, and genital region. Urinary symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, urinary urgency, frequent urination, and dysuria. Sometimes, it may be accompanied by terminal hematuria or purulent urethral discharge. Acute infections can be accompanied by symptoms such as chills, fever, and fatigue. Prostatitis is a common condition in men and is very stubborn, making it difficult to treat with general medications. It is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment.
