Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 36 years old. I have recently experienced left lower abdominal pain several times, but I have not been able to find the cause. I remember I had prostatitis, and I thought it might be related to that. Could you please tell me if prostatitis can cause left lower abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause pain in the lower left abdomen. The typical symptoms of this condition include frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, discomfort and mild pain during urination, leukorrhea at the urethral meatus, and mild pain or discomfort in the perineum and lower abdomen. Once diagnosed, it is recommended to seek treatment at a regular hospital's urology department as soon as possible, using antibacterial medications as well as blood-activating, spasmolytic, and antipyretic drugs. If it is chronic prostatitis, follow medical advice for hot Sitz baths, prostate massage, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the incidence of the condition.
