Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling like I can't urinate enough, and the frequency of urination keeps increasing. It's about 10 times a night, and I also have a strong urge to urinate. Sometimes I experience lower abdominal pain, a heavy and distended feeling in the lower abdomen, and testicular pain. Additionally, I have no libido. After a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as prostatitis. It's said that kegel exercises can help treat it. What are the specific methods?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:Method as follows: Repeat the process of tightening and lifting the anus, then relax the anus and testicles, which can stabilize local blood circulation. Insert a finger into the patient's anus and instruct them to gently guide the finger in using bowel movements without abdominal pressure. Simultaneously, relaxing the pelvic muscles through pelvic muscle training can also achieve the effect of expanding the anus and relaxing the pelvic muscles.
Perform the scrotal wall traction method by repeatedly pulling the scrotal wall 20-30 times daily in a warm and relaxed environment. This can relax the scrotal membrane and cremaster muscle, and some patients may experience relief or pain relief within 2-3 weeks. Patience is key for effectiveness.
For severe prostatitis patients, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
