Patient's question:
I previously had prostatitis, but the doctor said I have recovered. However, recently I have been experiencing frequent nocturnal emissions. Initially, it was only during dreams, but now it happens without dreams. The doctor has prescribed traditional Chinese medicine, but the frequent nocturnal emissions still occur. Sometimes, there is also very thin, sticky fluid. After an erection, there is sticky fluid in the urine, not white, but very thin.Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is divided into bacterial and non-bacterial types. It is recommended to test for pathogens such as bacteria, mycoplasma, and chlamydia. If positive, perform a drug sensitivity test and use sensitive anti-inflammatory medications based on the results. The treatment duration is approximately 4-6 weeks. If negative, no antibiotic treatment is needed. If there is urinary frequency or urgency, Tamsulosin can be used. Warm water sitz baths, local physical therapy, and frequent prostate massage can also be helpful.
