Patient's question:
Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling pain in the area of the prostate. It still hurts today. There are small, localized areas of tenderness on the penis, mostly without pain, but there is a faint burning sensation and intermittent pain. I want to ask if this could be prostatitis? Acute or chronic (the pain is very sudden)? Sitting for a long time or crossing your legs can worsen the pain, while standing can alleviate it. How should it be treated? What medication should I take?Doctor's answer:
Considering the possibility of prostatitis or urinary tract infection, it is recommended to revisit the urology department of the hospital for further examination. Tests such as urinalysis, prostatic fluid analysis, and color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate should be conducted to identify the cause. Under the guidance of a doctor, proper medication and treatment should be administered. Additionally, it is important to avoid prolonged sitting, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.Furthermore, during the treatment of prostatitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. The patient should strive to digest vitamins, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet.
