Patient's question:
I indeed have the condition of prostatitis, and I have been treating it for a year now. The effect is not particularly good. However, I have now developed a new problem—intermittent lower back pain. I would like to ask if prostatitis can cause lower back pain?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, prostatitis primarily manifests as frequent urination, urinary pain, a feeling of incomplete urination, or some groin pain. It usually does not cause lower back pain. In this case, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a systematic examination to see if the lower back pain is caused by muscle strain in the lower back or a herniated disc. Of course, it is also possible that the pain is caused by some kidney disease.
