Patient's question:
I have previously consulted some friends who have had some episodes of unsafe sexual activity, and the symptoms have recurred. There are some small bumps on the penis, and the glans is red, swollen, and itchy. In the past few days, I have experienced frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination. I would like to consult an expert about non-gonococcal urethritis and prostatitis, and seek advice on how to treat them.Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis of non-gonococcal urethritis and prostatitis are two different diseases. Non-gonococcal urethritis is a sexually transmitted disease, while prostatitis is an inflammatory condition of the urinary and reproductive system. If a patient with non-gonococcal urethritis is also diagnosed with prostatitis during treatment, sensitive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications can be determined based on the pathogen. During treatment, intravenous antibacterial and anti-inflammatory medications are primarily used, such as cephalosporins and penicillins. The medication should be administered continuously for approximately 7-14 days.
