Patient's question:
Over the past two days, I've been experiencing some pain during urination. Later, I noticed some yellow, thick discharge from the penis opening.Doctor's answer:
For your situation, this indicates an inflammation of the urinary system. Urinary tract inflammation can manifest symptoms such as pain during urination, urgency, and frequent urination. A urinalysis may show an increase in white blood cells and red blood cells.Recommendation: However, it's important to rule out the possibility of ureteral stones. Ureteral stones can cause pain during urination and sometimes urinary obstruction, but the urine can still be expelled after changing positions. The urinalysis results are consistent with urinary tract infection. Currently, you should drink more water. If the stone is small, it may pass on its own. Then, take antibiotics such as levofloxacin to fight the infection. If it's a urinary tract infection, symptoms should improve within three days after taking oral medication. After one week of oral medication, symptoms should significantly alleviate.
