Patient's question:
Hello expert, a while ago I went to Hospital A for a blood test, and the doctor said I had non-gonococcal urethritis. After treatment for a period of time, the burning sensation when urinating disappeared, but about half a month later, there was occasionally some clear mucus flowing out from my penis. When I went back to Hospital A for a follow-up check, they said it had recurred and the test was still weakly positive. I was puzzled, as it had barely been less than half a month since it got better and it recurred again? So I went to Hospital B for another urine test, but the results from Hospital B said everything was fine. Hearing this result, I was completely dumbfounded, not knowing whether to be happy or even more distressed. Expert, I hope you can help me clarify. Is checking for non-gonococcal urethritis done through a blood test?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to go to the hospital for tests including urinalysis, urine bacterial culture with drug sensitivity test, and urine L-type bacterial culture with drug sensitivity test. Identify what type of bacteria is causing the urinary tract infection and determine which antibiotic is sensitive to this bacterium. Then, take corresponding treatment measures based on the specific test results. Administer sufficient dosage and duration of treatment in a standardized and systematic manner.
