Patient's question:
When I went to bed this morning, I noticed I had experienced nocturnal emission, and I didn't pay too much attention to it. However, when I went to the bathroom to urinate, I felt a stinging sensation in my urethra. I'm worried it might be a urinary tract issue, so I want to consult a doctor specifically about it. What could be the reason for the urethral pain after nocturnal emission?Doctor's answer:
Ejaculation accompanied by urethral pain may indicate a possible prostatitis. In this case, you need to go to the hospital for a prostatic fluid test and a detailed ultrasound examination of the prostate to confirm the diagnosis. If prostatitis is present, active oral medication treatment is necessary. If left untreated for too long, prostatitis may lead to infertility or sexual dysfunction, which can affect the relationship between couples.
