What should I do if I have a urinary tract infection and the urethral mucosa is damaged?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and erosion of the urinary tract mucosa. The color Doppler ultrasound of the kidneys and prostate was normal. The urinalysis showed normal results, with only a trace of blood detected. The lecithin corpuscles were slightly reduced, accounting for only 50%. Initially, I experienced intense itching, frequent urination, and a stinging sensation at the urethral opening. Now, whenever I get an erection, blood flows from the urethra, and sometimes when I strain during a bowel movement, a very small amount of blood leaks out.
Previous Treatment and Effects:
I received intravenous injections of gatifloxacin and azithromycin for one week. The itching and other symptoms were stabilized, but the issue of skin peeling has not been resolved since then.
Seeking Medical Advice: What could be the reason for this persistent skin peeling?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Based on your description of symptoms, it is likely that you have been diagnosed with a urinary tract infection. The lecithin corpuscles are reduced to only 50%, and you experience intense itching, frequent urination, and a stinging sensation at the urethral opening. Sometimes, blood may flow from the urethra upon penile erection, and occasionally, a small amount of blood may be excreted during straining during bowel movements. This could be caused by prostatitis or urethritis.
It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination of your urinalysis and secretion analysis, as well as a color Doppler ultrasound of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder to rule out the possibility of stones. Additionally, a color Doppler ultrasound of the testicles and epididymis should be performed to rule out conditions such as orchitis and seminal vesiculitis. Based on the examination results, appropriate treatment can be administered.
It is advisable to go to a Grade III A public hospital for the examination.
