Patient's question:
At the age of 29, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. I have been treated many times, but it keeps recurring. Eventually, I gave up on it. Now, I have a damp and painful groin, lower back pain, fatigue, premature ejaculation, and frequent nighttime urination (3-4 times per night). In the morning, I wake up feeling weak and reluctant to get out of bed to sleep. It has been over a decade since I last checked it. Please ask: How should I treat varicocele?Doctor's answer:
Please describe your specific symptoms in detail, such as lower abdominal discomfort, fullness, or pain, scrotal fullness, dampness in the scrotum, or difficulty urinating, pain during urination, frequent nighttime urination, etc. First, it is important to distinguish between prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is often characterized by urinary difficulties and frequent nighttime urination, but it generally does not cause lower abdominal or scrotal fullness. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and maintain a regular sex life while avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
