What are the diagnosis and treatment plans for prostatitis?

Patient's question:

The doctor confirmed it as prostatitis. In these days, the symptoms have reduced significantly compared to before, but sometimes there is still pain near the testicles and bladder. Recently, I noticed that the scrotal skin sometimes has intermittent numbness, sometimes it appears and sometimes it disappears, like a fleeting tingling sensation like static electricity. Hello, what is going on? Besides the condition of phimosis where the foreskin cannot be retracted, should I get circumcised? When not erect, it seems to be only about 2-3 centimeters. Is that abnormal?

Doctor's answer:

You currently first need to have a systematic treatment for prostatitis. After the prostatitis heals on its own, you can then undergo the circumcision surgery. During this period, it is essential to pay attention to maintaining local hygiene and preventing the accumulation of smegma to avoid infection. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication treatment. Moreover, for male patients, it is necessary to immediately seek medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the examination results. Additionally, it is important to restrain sexual activity and maintain a good mood.
