Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. Could prostatitis cause urethritis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can potentially cause urethritis because the two organs are relatively close to each other. The treatment of prostatitis primarily involves medication, mainly antibiotic therapy, supplemented by other comprehensive treatments. Commonly used medications include erythromycin, compound sulfamethoxazole, and penicillin derivatives. Additionally, it is important to quit smoking and drinking alcohol, as well as avoiding spicy foods, and maintaining a healthy and normal sex life. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm prostatitis can cause to patients, so it is crucial to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Moreover, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
