Patient's question:
In 2015, during coitus with my girlfriend, I experienced hematospermia, followed by hematuria. When I went to the hospital for a follow-up, the doctor didn't conduct a thorough examination and, based on speculation, diagnosed me with orchitis. After taking anti-inflammatory medication for a week, the symptoms resolved. In mid-2016, hematospermia and hematuria reappeared; I bought the same medication from a pharmacy and took it for a week, which also resolved. Two years later, that is, recently, the symptoms returned, and I bought roxithromycin from the pharmacy. I have already taken two boxes of it. It should be working well. However, I am quite upset about why it keeps recurring. I have no history of unprotected sex or promiscuity, and my sexual activity is not frequent—about twice a week. Each recurrence occurs without any warning signs, and there is no discomfort during the period. Only the symptoms of obvious hematospermia and hematuria during the first urination after the recurrence are noticeable.Doctor's answer:
When you have inflammation, taking anti-inflammatory medication is definitely effective, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You should go to the hospital for a thorough and detailed examination and treatment to confirm the cause and treat accordingly. Go to a regular hospital for a check-up. Based on what you said, the situation seems quite serious, so treatment should be sought as soon as possible!!! For patients with scrotal inflammation, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If it is not treated in a timely manner, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
