Patient's question:
I just had a routine prostate examination at a private hospital and after going home, I noticed pain while urinating, which has persisted for several days without any relief. I called the doctor to ask about it, and he told me that this is a common symptom after collecting samples for the examination. People around me who have had similar tests have also experienced this symptom. What could be the situation? Is this normal? Does it hurt to urinate after a prostate examination?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by prostate disease. In this case, it is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital as soon as possible. Further tests such as a routine urine test, color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate, and a routine prostatic fluid test are needed to confirm the specific diagnosis. Then, medication sensitive to the test results should be used. Daily health maintenance is essential—avoid staying up late, drinking alcohol, prolonged sitting or standing, spicy and irritating foods, and excessive fatigue.
