Patient's question:
I haven't known why my glans has been itchy recently. There's a bit of pain at the urethral opening when urinating, but there are no bumps or pus on the penis—just some discomfort. It feels a bit swollen. Upon careful examination, it was found to be non-gonococcal prostatitis. What should I do for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Consider it may be non-gonococcal urethritis that was not treated promptly, leading to non-gonococcal prostatitis caused by the downward transmission of pathogens. Sensitivity testing data is required to determine which specific antibiotic is most effective. Oral antibiotics should then be prescribed. Tetracycline-class drugs are commonly used in this treatment.During this period of treatment, unprotected sexual activity must be avoided, as it may lead to reinfection in women, recurrence of non-gonococcal urethritis, and cross-infection, exacerbating the condition.
