Patient's question:
I had gonorrhea and was treated. Ten days later, I experienced urethral itching and had morning discharge. Later, without a thorough examination, I was treated for non-gonococcal urethritis for twenty days. Then, I had morning yellow discharge again. I had two cultures done, and both showed negative for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Is it more likely that I have chronic gonorrhea or prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and actively treat with anti-inflammatory and symptomatic therapy. The examination results showed it is not gonorrhea. The daily treatment for prostatitis patients mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins. Additionally, attention should be paid to diet, consuming light, soft, and easily digestible foods. It is hoped that after successful treatment, prostatitis patients will remember to engage in appropriate exercise.
