Patient's question:
I am a male. A few days ago, I felt some itching inside my lower abdomen and thought I might have a sexually transmitted disease. So I checked carefully, but there was no discharge or external inflammation. After about a day, I started feeling pain when urinating, which I think is a stinging sensation during urination. I wonder if there are any good solutions to this problem.Thank you everyone.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it's important to pay attention to the possibility of a urinary tract infection, such as urethritis. This may be related to factors like hygiene of the external genitalia, clothing hygiene, phimosis, and systemic infectious diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and drinking, drink more water and urinate more frequently, and temporarily abstain from sexual activity or masturbation. Early medical diagnosis is advised, including tests such as a urinalysis and bacterial culture of urethral secretions. Based on the test results, follow the doctor's advice for active treatment.
