Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up because I noticed a light yellow liquid discharge from my urethral opening after waking up early. The result was prostatitis. But this morning, I found that the liquid had turned creamy white. What could be the reason for this? The check-up I had the day before yesterday was just for examination, and the doctor hasn't prescribed any medication yet. Why did the light yellow turn creamy white? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello: This is just a temporary phenomenon, and it is essential to actively treat it. The main symptoms of prostatitis are: frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge from the urethra, accompanied by lower back pain, limpness, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of hot-dampness obstruction, yin deficiency with fire effulgence, insufficient kidney yang, and blood and Qi stagnation.However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You can consult a local traditional Chinese medicine hospital, combining clinical observations with the four diagnostic methods to prescribe the right treatment for your condition, which will lead to recovery. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-treatment plan:
1. Massage along both sides of the urethra for 15-20 minutes daily, with intensity adjusted to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50-100 times each time, in the morning and before bed, until you feel aching or warmth in the anus.
3. In the summer, use a damp towel to cold compress the testicles, 2-3 times a night, until the testicles contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises, such as jogging for 10-15 minutes, until you sweat slightly.
6. In the morning, press your hands against your lower back to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100-1500 times.
