I have frequent urination, urgency, and some pain. I went to the hospital and had tests for prostatic fluid, blood, and urine. The doctor prescribed some medication for the prostate, and after taking it, I did feel some improvement. However, recently, I've started experiencing pain in my left testicle and the back of my thigh. What could be causing this? How can prostatitis lead to testicular pain?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can cause testicular pain. It is recommended to check if there is a possibility of orchitis and epididymitis. Additionally, it is important to consider if there is spermatic cord inflammation, which is often related to excessive sexual activity and frequent intercourse.Pay attention to reducing sexual activity and avoiding sexual intercourse, as well as avoiding spicy foods and alcohol. For severe cases of prostatitis, it is advisable to seek medical attention immediately. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid using medication blindly, as this may worsen the condition.
