Is this prostatitis? Is it serious?

Patient's question:

Patient: Male, 27
Gender: I often have a dull ache in my testicles. Besides, it seems there was some pain in the lymph nodes inside my thighs a few days ago, but it has now subsided. Especially now, my sexual function has been poor. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a common disease in men, mostly occurring in young and middle-aged adults. In clinical diagnosis, prostatitis can be divided into acute and chronic types. Acute prostatitis is less common in clinical diagnosis, while chronic prostatitis has a higher incidence rate in adults. Because chronic prostatitis is often accompanied by seminal vesiculitis, it is also known as prostatitis with seminal vesiculitis.
Causes 1. Causes of acute prostatitis. The onset often occurs when the body's overall or local resistance weakens. Pathogenic bacteria enter the prostate through the bloodstream or the urethra from other lesions in the body.
