Patient's question:
Doctor, I was diagnosed with prostatitis in March, and after seeing a doctor, I have been taking medication for treatment. The effect feels quite good, but recently I noticed some purulent discharge from the urethra and also felt some pain in my lower abdomen. What should I do about prostatitis with urethral purulent discharge?Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of prostatitis is the condition of difficulty urinating, such as hesitation to urinate, dribbling urine, and incomplete emptying of the bladder. This is related to conditions like excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, and frequent sexual activity. Now, you have again experienced urethral discharge, which indicates the presence of gonorrhea. This is caused by infection with Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and it requires immediate treatment with antibiotics to see if it improves.
