Patient's question:
Excessive sexual activity can lead to chronic prostatitis. Taking medication for two months now, I've been experiencing some lower back soreness upon waking up. Sometimes after urination, there's a bit of white discharge besides the urge to urinate. I'm not sure how to interpret this white discharge. Is it possible that my prostatitis has improved since my prostate size is normal now? It seems a bit larger.Doctor's answer:
From the symptoms you described and the careful examination results, it may be prostatitis that causes urinary discomfort and prostate enlargement. Pay attention to staying active, avoid sitting for long periods and holding urine, quit sexual activity, take oral anti-inflammatory medication for treatment, drink more water, and avoid smoking and alcohol. If the symptoms are controlled, for prostate patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If not treated in time, it may affect your physical condition. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
