My brother had complaints of frequent urination and mild scrotal pain. The doctor advised a flexible cystoscopy and the report showed Urethra: No stricture Prostate: Normal size with inflammation + Bladder: Normal BUO: Normal Impression: Prostatitis Three days later, a bladder urine report showed: Urine RE: Normal Urine culture & sensitivity: Colony count nil, culture sterile after 48 hours The doctor advised: Normal diet Plenty of fluids Tab Niftas 100 mg for 1 month Urispas for 2 days Tab Pause for 2 days Syrup Alkasol for 1 month After one month, on review, he was symptom free, so no further medicines were prescribed. Now, he has mild, ignorable scrotal pain for some days. What could be the cause? Could prostatitis recur? Can prostatitis cause prostate cancer? Please help

Yes, prostatitis can recur but does not directly cause prostate cancer. Avoid sitting long, hydrate well. Repeat urine test if symptoms persist.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test or Take a PSA Test (Prostatic Specific Antigen) Test

Hi Sir, I am suffering from frequent urination. When I drink 2 glasses of water then in 2 hours I go for urination 4 times. Also when I do not drink water then I feel to urinate at very short intervals and the urine amount is very low. What should be the gap between two urinations? Please suggest me what to do? Please see my report also?

I am experiencing severe pain in my penis. Could it be related to conditions like erectile dysfunction, priapism, Peyronie disease, or balanitis? What tests should I get to find out the cause?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing red rashes on the penile head and foreskin, along with a burning sensation during urination for the past one month. My urine report came back normal. I initially consulted a urologist, who advised me to see a dermatologist. I have now consulted a dermatologist and started the prescribed medications (attached for your reference).
