Patient's question:
I recently noticed frequent mysterious pain on both sides of the anus, sometimes so severe that I couldn't even stand up. At night, the pain during the middle of the night could even wake me up. I suspect it might be prostatitis pain and am very worried that it could worsen into other diseases. I am seeking help: What is the correct treatment for prostatitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Prostatodynia, also known as nonbacterial prostatitis syndrome, refers to significant tenderness in the levator ani muscles and other areas around the anus. This type accounts for a slightly lower proportion among the various forms of prostatitis compared to nonbacterial prostatitis. For prostatitis, antibiotic anti-inflammatory treatment is recommended. Quit smoking and alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from sexual intercourse and prevent excessive frequency of sexual activity. Avoid local cold stimuli. At the same time, adopting physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect. The method involves sitting in a basin (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes).
