Patient's question:
In the past two months, I have been feeling lower back pain and soreness, overall weakness, and extreme aversion to cold. I've also experienced frequent urination, urgency, and a stinging sensation during urination. My prostate is red and swollen, with significant pain, and my libido has decreased. I've tried many methods without relief, and my sleep has been poor at night.Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis: In clinical diagnosis, some patients with prostatodynia exhibit symptoms such as persistent urinary frequency, urgency, difficulty urinating, and discomfort in the prostate area. However, their prostatic fluid often lacks pus cells, and there are no significant infectious pathological changes. Cultivation fails to identify bacteria. Most of these patients are treated for chronic prostatitis, taking large amounts of Chinese and Western medications without relief. In fact, these patients do not suffer from true prostatitis but rather experience pain due to genuine, severe muscle pain in the urethral and prostate muscles. If you have prostatodynia, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly.
