Patient's question:
In the recent months, I have been experiencing recurring symptoms of lower back pain. Additionally, I sometimes feel a slight swelling in the testicles, and occasionally, there is white discharge from the urethral opening when I go to the toilet. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
1. Pain: Pain or discomfort in the perineum, pubic area, groin, lower abdomen, lumbosacral region, scrotum, testicles, or urethra;2. Urinary abnormalities such as urinary urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying, hesitancy, splitting, dripping, weak stream, and nocturia;
3. Urethral discharge (white or translucent mucus discharge from the urethral meatus in the morning, at the end of urination, or during straining during defecation). Long-term medication is required, and it is important to quit smoking and drinking, as well as maintain good personal hygiene.
