Patient's question:
I've had this illness for two months and it hasn't improved. I've had intravenous saline and taken medication. Now, the urethral opening and perineum are always in a dull pain, and the urethral opening is also swollen and red.Doctor's answer:
Considering the recurrence of symptoms such as persistent pain in the urethral meatus and perineum, along with redness and swelling of the urethral meatus, it is likely caused by chronic urinary tract infections or perinatal systemic infections. In this case, it is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital promptly for thorough examinations such as blood and urine tests, as well as color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, for accurate diagnosis. Additionally, oral medication should be taken to treat the condition, along with local application of ointments. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer.
