Patient's question:
Two years ago, I developed 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. Recently, 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 plenty of 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 return to the hospital for follow-up to see how things are progressing. For follow-up at the local hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department, treatment with Chinese herbal medicine that tonifies the kidneys and consolidates essence may be suitable, which can help improve the condition.
