Know How Our ICliniq Doctor Helped A Patient Who Suffered Excruciating Penile Pain

A patient with severe pain at the tip of his penis consulted our iCliniq doctor for a solution. He explained how it started as a frequent urge to urinate and further developed into severe pain at the penis tip. He also expressed how the pain aggravated with sexual intercourse or masturbation and that he never experienced any pain while urinating. He also mentioned that his pain was only in his penis and expressed concerns about having prostatitis, which he was not sure about, as he had no pelvic pain. He had undergone several tests and taken many medications for the same, but nothing did benefact him from this excruciating pain.

Our iCliniq doctor reviewed the patient's reports and carefully assessed the condition. After analyzing the symptoms and the reports, our doctor diagnosed the condition to be mild prostatitis. He then explained how specific tests and symptoms were insufficient to diagnose prostatitis and that only clinical examination could detect it. He informed the patient that stress, lack of sleep, anxiety, and ejaculation could aggravate prostatitis symptoms and advised addressing these first. The doctor also advised a semen culture along with urethral discharge culture to confirm the condition.

The patient later reported with a CT (computed tomography) scan report stating that he had a calculus of size 3 x 2 mm and wanted to know if he had a kidney stone. Further, he also provided the semen culture and urethral discharge culture reports.

Our iCliniq doctor analyzed the reports and assured the patient that the kidney stone was too small and negligible, as it would pass through the urine. The doctor then confirmed the condition to be mild prostatitis, for which he prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications and advised to defer from ejaculation for a while.

The patient reverted after four weeks with news that he had found relief. He then thanked our doctor for helping him. However, he further expressed concerns about whether the medications must be continued.

Our iCliniq doctor was happy that the patient had found relief and advised the patient to continue the medications for two weeks and get a follow-up later.
