I am a 29 years old male am facing burning sensation
while urinating for the last two months. I consulted a urologist who after
some tests diagnosed me with prostatitis. I also feel pain during erection.
I have taken a full course of antibiotics - ofloxcin and doxcycilline but
this hasn't benefited me. What should I do?
Infection is certainly the most common cause of the experiencing burning
sensation while passing urine. Urine tests can usually diagnose acute
infections. Sexually transmitted diseases are another common cause of such
symptoms and need to be ruled out with appropriate tests (tests for
gonorrhea, chlamydia and Herpes). Prostatitis is most common cause of
chronic discomfort while passing urine, along with perineal, scrotal and low
back pain. The most common cause of these complaints is an inflammation of
the prostate gland, so called prostatitis. Too frequent or too infrequent
ejaculation, sexual arousal without ejaculation, aggressive bike or horse
riding, and excessive spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine in the diet can
aggravate prostatitis. Even sitting for long periods may aggravate the
condition. If infections and prostatitis are ruled out, further evaluation
with a CT and an endoscopic examination may be considered to evaluate for
anatomical abnormalities (like urethral strictures, stones or polyps). |
