Is it useful to take anti-inflammatory drugs for penile pus discharge?

Penile discharge may be caused by urinary tract inflammation or prostatitis. In this case, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. After the cause is determined, treat the disease accordingly. Do not make conclusions for yourself or take medicine indiscriminately, otherwise it will worsen the condition and you may miss the best treatment time. When the disease is being treated, it is best to pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid eating spicy foods.

Prostatitis can not only cause local discomfort in the body, affecting life and work, but more importantly, it can also cause other systemic symptoms, and even cause malignant diseases such as uremia and tumors. The harm of prostatitis is multifaceted and varies with the length of the course of the disease and the severity of the disease. After the symptoms of prostatitis are found, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

If prostatitis is not treated in time, it can easily cause the following harms:

1. Affecting work and life Due to the stimulation of inflammation, a series of symptoms are produced, such as swelling and pain in the lumbar sacral area, perineum, testicles, etc., incomplete urination, frequent urination at night, etc., which make patients irritable and affect their work and life.

2. Influencing functions

As the disease has not been cured for a long time, various symptoms and discomforts worsen after sexual intercourse, or directly affect the feeling and quality of sexual life, causing a kind of malignant stimulation to the patient, gradually showing a kind of disgust towards sex, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other phenomena.

3. Impact on fertility

Long-term chronic inflammation causes changes in the composition of prostatic fluid, affecting the secretory function of the prostate, which in turn affects the liquefaction time of semen and reduces sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility.

4. Cause endocrine disorders

Under normal circumstances, the prostate can secrete a variety of active substances. Due to prostate inflammation and endocrine disorders, neurasthenia and mental abnormalities may occur; symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and memory loss may also occur.

5. Development of uremia

If prostatitis is not treated in time, it can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which will compress the bladder outlet, making it impossible to completely empty the urine, resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is a good breeding ground for bacteria, and the bladder mucosal defense mechanism is damaged, so it is very easy to cause urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If the treatment is not thorough at this time, pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc. will develop into nephritis and finally develop into uremia.

6. Cause gynecological inflammation

Prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacteria, whose inflammation can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse, such as fungal prostatitis, trichomonas prostatitis, gonorrhea prostatitis, non-gonococcal (chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis, etc.

7. Prone to infection

The human prostate contains an antibacterial substance called prostatic antibacterial factor. When the prostate is inflamed, this antibacterial factor decreases, making it easy to cause infection. Infection caused by prostatitis can lead to acute urinary retention, acute seminal vesiculitis or epididymitis, vas deferens, enlarged or tender spermatic lymph nodes, etc. In severe cases, groin pain or renal angina may occur.

Prostatitis is harmful to men's health, but it is not an incurable disease. Early examination and standardized treatment, as well as the establishment and cultivation of healthy sexual habits, are the keys to improving treatment efficacy and preventing the recurrence of prostatitis. In daily life, you must pay attention to your health and do not cause unnecessary troubles due to momentary negligence.
