Is mild urethral discomfort a sign of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

...a bit of discomfort in the urethra recently, feeling a slight stinging sensation. In the morning, there were white spots on my underwear, and squeezing the base of my penis would release one or two drops of white fluid. However, in the past few days, the white spots on my underwear have reduced from about a dozen to just two or three. After a few more days, there’s a slight swelling sensation at the base of my penis. I’ve heard that prostatitis can cause infertility...

Doctor's answer:

First, you should consider a urinary tract infection. I recommend you go to a formal hospital for a urinalysis, urine culture, and color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system. Using medication based on the results of drug sensitivity testing is relatively effective. You should pay attention to rest, drink more water, and maintain good hygiene, especially cleaning before and after sexual activity. Further examination in a formal hospital and medication based on the test results will be more effective. If you don't get tested, you can try Cefixime capsules combined with Ciprofloxacin for 7 days, along with some Jin Qian Cao granules to see how effective it is. If the effect is not good, it is recommended to stop medication for 7 days and get a urine culture test at a formal hospital. I wish you good health.
