Patient's question:
Is the swelling on both sides of the base of my penis a symptom of prostatitis? It's been a long time, and recently, there's some pain in the base of my left thigh, but it's not too severe. I also feel discomfort and a bloated sensation in my lower back. My abdomen feels like water is moving back and forth between my kidneys and abdomen. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Considering it may be contagious, it is necessary to have a thorough examination at the hospital for confirmation. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol. Pay attention to follow-up tests, which can be done at the hospital for a complete blood count and ESR check. Treatment with Amoxicillin Clavulanate Potassium Dispersible Tablets or Cefuroxime Axetil Capsules can help. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
