Patient's question:
I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with chronic prostatitis, but I don't have symptoms like frequent urination or urgency to urinate. Is this normal? Also, I experience testicular pain after sexual arousal. Is this normal? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is a chronic inflammation of the prostate gland caused by various etiologies and is the most common disease in urology. It includes two parts: chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-bacterial prostatitis. It is common to experience pain, fullness, or discomfort in areas such as the scrotum, testicles, lower abdomen, perineum, lumbosacral region, and inner thighs. It is recommended to check prostatic fluid, color Doppler ultrasound, and routine urinalysis to understand the inflammatory condition and then provide symptomatic treatment. The condition of prostatitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to seek medical attention immediately at a professional and reputable hospital.
