Patient's question:
Pain below the navel, (between the anus and testicles), this area has intermittent sharp pain, the pain feels quite intense, but after it subsides, it feels lighter than before. When the pain comes, I feel the urge to go to the toilet, and it starts every other month. When the pain first began, I went to a small pharmacy and got medicine, they said it was prostatitis. At the time, I thought it might be this condition, so I listened to the pharmacist and took medicine for half a month. But what I don’t understand is that within a month, the pain only occurs in the second half, with no symptoms in the first half. If I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, what department should I see?Doctor's answer:
The condition you mentioned is inflammation caused by dampness in the scrotal area and bacterial transmission. Scrotal dampness is often a result of chronic prostatitis induced by frequent sexual activity. For your situation, the first step is to apply Curcumin cream externally for treatment, followed by oral medication to address prostatitis. The testicles can recover, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications appropriately based on symptoms during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible.
