Patient's question:
34 years old, male, started last year and has been going on for more than half a year. Sitting down or crouching causes left lower abdominal pain. Detailed examinations performed: Colonoscopy: Normal. Complete urological ultrasound: Except for 1 cm of calcification focus in chronic prostatitis, everything else is normal. Complete urological CT scan: Normal. Antibiotics are effective, but symptoms recur after stopping them: Can chronic prostatitis cause left lower abdominal pain due to changes in body position?Doctor's answer:
Sitting for long periods can indeed lead to excessive release of prostaglandins, causing vasoconstriction and ischemic pain. Your examination shows prostate calcification, which also supports the diagnosis of prostatitis. It is recommended that you first get a prostate fluid test before starting antibiotic treatment. It is advisable to develop the habit of drinking plenty of plain water, avoid spicy and irritating foods, take hot baths, and engage in regular exercise to enhance your physical fitness, which will improve your condition.
