Patient's question:
I wake up every morning at 3 or 4 a.m. because of needing to urinate. After going to the bathroom, I can barely fall back asleep. I had a thorough medical check-up at the hospital in the past and was told I have an enlarged prostate. Lately, sometimes I experience pain while urinating, and after urinating, there is white discharge that stains my pants. My scrotum has always been quite moist, and my semen has been light yellow. Last week, I had nocturnal emissions for three consecutive days, and I didn’t see anything I shouldn’t have. How should I treat this condition? Will it affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your condition is considered to be caused by prostatitis, which is a common disease among men. Don't worry. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a prostatic fluid examination and a thorough check-up of your semen routine to diagnose the cause. Symptomatic treatment is more effective, and it is advisable to avoid prolonged sitting. Wishing you good health! For patients, if the prostatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with appropriate medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of prostatitis.
