Patient's question:
Over the past ten days, I've been feeling discomfort in my testicles. When I go to bed in the morning, I don't feel anything unusual, but after starting work (sitting by the computer for training), I notice a slight sensation of fullness in my testicles, which improves when I stand up. I've realized that sitting for too long is very uncomfortable, and lately, even walking has been a bit uncomfortable. There's no problem with urination; it's the same as before. Could prostatitis be causing the pain in my testicles?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, if not treated promptly, can lead to conditions such as prostate cancer, epididymitis, orchitis, and seminal vesiculitis. It is also one of the causes of sexual dysfunction. The prostate is a special tissue in the human body, surrounded by a hard lipid capsule, which acts as a drug barrier. Medications alone can be difficult to penetrate to the affected area of the prostate, making the results of purely medicinal treatment less ideal. Therefore, during treatment, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
