Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm only in my 30s this year. A few weeks ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up because of frequent urination and urgency. I was diagnosed with prostatitis and have been taking medication for treatment. However, over the past two days, I've experienced lower back pain again. I haven't done any heavy physical activity, so could it be related to my prostatitis? I'm very worried. Hello. Does prostatitis cause lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis, when symptoms are mild, typically only manifests as recurrent urinary urgency and frequency. However, in more severe cases, it may also cause urinary pain and sexual dysfunction, along with issues like lower back pain. Prostate diseases have a significant impact on male function, and once they appear, active treatment is necessary. However, if lower back pain still occurs during treatment, it may indicate that the relief methods have not effectively controlled the severe progression.
