Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, but because I received timely treatment, it has been cured. However, in the past two days, I have been experiencing significant discomfort while urinating, with a stinging sensation and weak urine flow. I am worried that my prostate might be problematic. Is the stinging sensation during urination a symptom of a prostate disease?Doctor's answer:
I had prostatitis before, and after treatment, it has improved somewhat. Recently, I've experienced a stinging sensation during urination, and my stream is weak. This is a symptom of urethritis, indicating a urinary tract infection. You can take some medication to help recover, such as Cephalexin capsules and Levofloxacin tablets. These are usually available at pharmacies. If it's a prescription medication, you can ask your doctor to prescribe it. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy foods like chili peppers. Drink plenty of water and urinate frequently, and you'll gradually recover. Don't worry.
