Patient's question:
Two years ago, I contracted prostatitis, and I always felt it was an embarrassing condition. Afraid of being discovered and laughed at by others, I only secretly bought some medicine from a pharmacy to take orally. In recent days, I've frequently felt lower back pain. Doctor, does prostatitis cause lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis may cause lower back pain. It is recommended to promptly undergo anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a doctor, using diuretic and dampness-dispelling drugs along with antibiotics. Avoid consuming excessive spicy and overly stimulating foods. Drinking more warm water can help enhance the body's metabolic processes. Do not stay up late or engage in overly strenuous activities. It is necessary to revisit the hospital for follow-up to see how things are progressing. For follow-up at the local hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department, herbal treatments that tonify the kidneys and consolidate essence may be suitable, which can help improve the condition.
