Patient's question:
Lower abdomen and testicular pain. Yesterday, I had intimate contact with my girlfriend, and the erection lasted longer without sexual intercourse. After that, my lower abdomen and testicles started to hurt. The pain eased only when I took a nap in the evening, and it only got better after I went to bed on the third day. Today, the pain returned after intimate contact. Should I take medication?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are likely due to recurrent blood flow in the prostate caused by prolonged erection, leading to pain. It is recommended to increase the impact on it by taking a warm bath for a few minutes. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, as well as smoking and alcohol. It is advisable to undergo a detailed scrotal ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis and rule out the possibility of varicocele. Avoid standing for long periods. For male patients, it is important to seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, as well as maintaining personal hygiene.
