Patient's question:
The semen is yellow and odorless. Usually, the urine is yellow, and it becomes clear a few days after ejaculation. There are no other symptoms. Previously, I went to a private urology hospital and was diagnosed with prostatitis, which they said was very serious. Recently, I want to get rechecked at a top-tier hospital. I don't know which aspects to check again. Is my condition considered very serious?Doctor's answer:
This is normal. When you increase your daily water intake and engage in more physical activity, leading to sweating, it is normal for your urine to turn slightly yellow. As your water intake continues to increase, the urine will naturally become clearer, and this has nothing to do with ejaculation.It is recommended to maintain a light diet (consume plenty of water and fresh fruits and vegetables, especially after exercise and sweating, paying attention to hydration and digestion). Avoid extremely cold and spicy foods, and prevent exposure to cold, overexertion, or long working hours. Always keep a calm mood and ensure sufficient deep sleep.
Do not take medication or seek treatment casually. If you want to retest, you can go to a regular hospital for tests such as urinalysis, prostatic fluid analysis, and color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health.
