Patient's question:
I've been very troubled recently, not knowing why. The ball under the prostate hurts, and I've always been very careful about it. But sometimes the pain is so severe that I can't go to work. Therefore, I'd like to consult a doctor about what could be causing the pain in the ball under the prostate.Doctor's answer:
Pain in the area below the prostate may also be caused by referred pain from prostatitis infection. It is recommended to visit a specialized outpatient department in the hospital for examination. An ultrasound of the prostate and a prostate fluid test should be conducted to determine the specific cause. Then, targeted treatment based on the cause should be administered. It is essential to maintain a calm mood, quit smoking and drinking, avoid cold exposure, and eat less spicy, greasy, and irritating foods.For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
