Patient's question:
I have been experiencing erectile dysfunction for a year and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said it was caused by an enlarged prostate. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after suffering from prostate disease, it often presents with symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and dysuria (painful urination). In the morning, there may also be white or purulent discharge from the urethral meatus, and the urine may appear cloudy or leave a white residue after defecation. If the patient's condition is severe, common symptoms of prostatitis may include hematuria (blood in urine), hematospermia (blood in semen), and urinary difficulties. There may also be radiating pain in the penis, testicles, lumbar-sacral region, or inner thighs. If left untreated for a long time, it can easily lead to sexual dysfunction. Prostate (Prostate) can be used in combination with medications such as ofloxacin or azithromycin for treatment. It is important to abstain from alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid holding urine or sitting for long periods, maintain warmth, and enhance physical exercise.
