Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have prostatitis. I keep smelling a strange odor, and I also feel pain when urinating, with a burning sensation in the urethra. I'm very afraid that I might have a sexually transmitted disease, but I don't know if the symptoms of a sexually transmitted disease are like this. Hello doctor, is this a sexually transmitted disease?Doctor's answer:
The current situation proves that you definitely have a urinary tract infection. Whether it is caused by a sexually transmitted infection requires careful examination at the hospital. You can simply do a routine urine test, or you can check for Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis in urine and prostatic fluid. Only through testing can we confirm if there is a sexually transmitted infection. Of course, it is not a special type of sexually transmitted infection, and you don't need to worry. Even if there is a sexually transmitted infection, it can be treated.
