A member asked:
I am a 26 year-old male, diagnosed with chronic prostatitis a week ago. now, my urethral opening is slightly swollen, it is a symptom of prostatitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: If the prostate is inflammed because of prostatitis, the entire urine channel (urethra) could be inflammed, including the opening. Are you being treated for the prostatitis? Check again with your doctor in 1-2 weeks if it is still swollen
