Patient's question:
Last month, the glans had red peeling and itchy urethra, with some prostatitis. The hospital's thorough examination results indicated glans inflammation and prostatitis. After taking medication, it improved, but yesterday the glans turned red again and the urethra became itchy. I haven't eaten spicy food, drunk beer, or had sexual activity for over a month, and I've also been very careful about hygiene. How could it come back again? Both times the glans became red and itchy coincided with a gout flare-up. Logically, gout and glans inflammation shouldn't be related. I want to ask if it's because my immunity has declined that the glans inflammation recurs, or is there another reason?Doctor's answer:
Prohibition of alcohol and spicy foods. Take a warm bath for 15 minutes every day. Avoid getting cold. Prevent prolonged sitting and standing. Clean with plain water every night. Apply ointment after sterilizing with povidone-iodine. Always keep the area clean and dry. Prostate problems can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recur after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt healthy lifestyle habits and maintain a proper diet during the treatment period.
