Patient's question:
Doctor, hello:Male, 22 years old, with a history of masturbation for 5 to 6 years. Recently, last night, I masturbated and semen was released through the urethra. However, after ejaculation, my urethra (approximately 1 cm from the posterior of the glans to 3-4 cm) felt uncomfortable, with an indescribable discomfort accompanied by pain. The discomfort and pain peaked between 10 and 45 minutes, then gradually subsided. The next day, I had slight discomfort, but after that, there was no further sensation. However, if I ejaculated again, the same discomfort and pain occurred about 3 to 4 times, similar to the last time.
Thank you, Doctor, for taking the time to answer my question amidst your busy schedule.
Doctor's answer:
??Your current symptoms include a urinary tract infection and inflammation. Masturbation can easily lead to male reproductive tract inflammation. In your case, it is necessary to visit the urology department for a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis and identify the specific pathogen causing the infection. After that, treatment should be administered based on the pathogen. Before the pathogen is confirmed, it is best not to use any medication indiscriminately. I believe everyone knows that assisted reproductive technology can cause significant harm to patients. Therefore, it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
