Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain and discomfort in the genital area. I've also noticed difficulty and short duration of erections in the morning. The past two days, I've had mild dysuria, apart from noticeable leukorrhea. I suspect it might be prostatitis, but I'm not yet sure.Doctor's answer:
General prostatitis often recurs with symptoms such as urinary urgency and frequency. Currently, most chronic prostatitis patients worldwide are dissatisfied with treatment outcomes. Chronic prostatitis has many treatment methods, which is a special phenomenon not seen in other diseases. Common methods include antibiotic treatment, physical therapy, α-adrenergic blockers, repeated prostate massage, muscle relaxants, and herbal Chinese medicine, among others. Generally, antibiotic treatment can be adopted. Drugs with better effects include trimethoprim, clindamycin, and erythromycin; those with moderate effects include chloramphenicol.
