Does prostatitis cause testicular pain?

Patient's question:

I had a very urgent need to urinate two months ago, but when I went, I couldn't urinate and was carefully examined for prostatitis. Currently, I am taking medication for treatment. However, in the past two days, I have noticed a vague pain in my testicles, which I suspect might be caused by the prostatitis.
Hello doctor, what is the reason for testicular pain caused by prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis is a common urological disease diagnosed clinically, caused by inflammatory infections. If not treated promptly and appropriately, the inflammation can spread to the reproductive system, leading to testicular inflammation, causing the testicles to become engorged and swollen, resulting in pain. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to treat the inflammation in both areas simultaneously. To prevent chills, fatigue, and prolonged sitting or standing; drink more water, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and other irritating foods, and quit smoking and drinking.
