Patient's question:
I had a prostate massage, and at the time, I had a severe flare-up of prostatitis. After the massage, I experienced widespread wandering pain all over my body, especially in my lower limbs, including the perineum and scrotum. Blood tests ruled out bacterial infection. Could it be viral? My complete blood count is normal.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is divided into chronic prostatitis, acute prostatitis, prostatodynia, and asymptomatic prostatitis. Therefore, it is recommended that you drink plenty of plain water, engage in regular physical exercise, enhance your physical fitness, take hot baths, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Since prostatitis tends to be recurrent, long-term medication is necessary. For male patients, it is important to actively seek medical treatment in professional and reputable hospitals and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, it is necessary to quit smoking and drinking and pay attention to personal hygiene.
