Patient's question:
I went to the hospital in the early part of the year to check for varicocele. The doctor said it wasn't serious and that surgery wasn't necessary. Recently, I've been experiencing pain during intercourse every time, and sometimes I also feel some discomfort when urinating. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
After sexual intercourse, there is pain in the perineum and discomfort during urination, which may be caused by sexual intercourse-induced prostatic congestion. In this case, if sexual intercourse is avoided, the repeated congestion of the prostate will stop, and the pain and discomfort will no longer occur. Abstaining from sexual intercourse can restore normalcy. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and also adopt a healthy lifestyle and proper diet during the treatment period.
