Patient's question:
When straining during a bowel movement, there is a clear, translucent mucus discharge from the urethra, and the scrotum feels damp. The previous symptom was a white liquid discharge when straining during a bowel movement.Doctor's answer:
Here are the symptoms of prostatitis. The symptoms include frequent urination, a burning sensation and pain during urination that radiates to the head of the penis, and a possible presence of mucus-like secretions from the urethral opening in the morning. It may also cause the sensation of difficulty urinating again, a heavy and uncomfortable feeling in the posterior urethra, perineum, and anus, and increased when squatting, having a bowel movement, or sitting on chairs/benches for a long time. It may also lead to an increase in sexual function and premature ejaculation. Prostatitis can be categorized into acute bacterial prostatitis, chronic bacterial prostatitis, non-bacterial prostatitis, and asymptomatic prostatitis. It is recommended to seek active treatment. The key to curing prostatitis lies in determining the correct treatment method. During medication, patience is required. For prostatitis, antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended, and short-term use of α-blockers (e.g., Durect) may be considered.
