Patient's question:
I have prostatitis. Previously, due to the recurrence of urinary urgency and frequency, self-medication did not show any improvement, and a hospital examination confirmed it as prostatitis. I am currently undergoing treatment. The urinary urgency has been relieved compared to before, but sometimes I feel a bloated pain in the lower abdomen. Can prostatitis cause lower abdominal bloating and pain?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can indeed cause lower abdominal pain, especially when the inflammation is more pronounced. This may be due to prolonged sitting or insufficient water intake in recent days. It is advisable to revisit the hospital for a check-up. On a daily basis, focus on taking anti-inflammatory and blood-activating medications, but specific medication usage should follow medical advice. Additionally, try to drink more warm water each day, and physical treatments such as acupuncture can also be considered.
