Patient's question:
Chronic prostatitis, without frequent urination or urgency, just lower abdominal pain, is this a symptom of prostatitis? It's been a year, and it keeps recurring with lower abdominal pain. Is this serious? The pain is bearable. How should this condition be treated?Doctor's answer:
Lower abdominal pain, without symptoms of frequent urination or painful urination, may be considered a possible prostatitis condition. It is recommended to first undergo a prostatic fluid examination and then further diagnosis with color Doppler ultrasound. If prostatitis is diagnosed, oral anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken. It is advised to seek regular treatment from the urology department of a hospital for follow-up. Avoid holding urine, drink more water, and minimize alcohol consumption. Prostatitis tends to recur, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to promptly seek treatment from professional and reputable hospitals based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and maintain good personal hygiene.
