Patient's question:
I am married with two children and have been experiencing lower back pain for two months. The left side of my waist has been in pain every day, and occasionally the right side also aches. I feel my libido isn't as good as before, and I've noticed that morning erections aren't as strong as they used to be. I have been masturbating for about eight or nine years. A detailed urological examination revealed an excess of white blood cells in the prostatic fluid.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis refers to acute or chronic inflammation caused by specific and non-specific infections of the prostate, leading to systemic or local symptoms. As a common and frequently occurring male disease, prostatitis is challenging to treat due to the current limited understanding of its causes, combined with its unique anatomical structure and the fact that it often recurs in individuals with frequent sexual activity, among other factors.
