Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have lower abdominal pain on both sides. Since the Spring Festival, I have been taking anti-inflammatory medication for a while. In May, I was diagnosed with prostatitis and took antibiotics for five months, but the effect was not significant. The lower abdominal pain still persists, but today I noticed some stomach pain and a slight pain in the upper right abdomen. Is it a side effect of the medication? How can I protect my organs? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis is often a chronic condition, and its treatment course is typically long. Due to the unique anatomical structure of the prostate, relying solely on medication for treatment is often not very effective. Currently, clinical treatment primarily focuses on combining physical therapy to achieve a more ideal outcome. Based on your description, your discomfort is likely caused by prostatitis.It is recommended that you consult a urologist at a hospital, considering your specific condition, and follow the doctor's advice for timely and symptomatic treatment. In daily life, pay attention to self-care for the prostate, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sitting, engage in regular exercise, avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, and moderate sexual activity. Wishing you good health.
