Patient's question:
I am 25 years old and have a history of masturbation for 8 years. During masturbation, I do not eject semen outside. Recently, when I urinate, my lower abdomen is particularly painful, otherwise everything is normal. Some so-called experts say it's prostatitis. Is that right?Doctor's answer:
Hello:Your situation is that you are a 25-year-old male who has not expelled semen during masturbation for 8 years. Recently, you have experienced severe abdominal pain when urinating, so it is highly suspected that the prostatitis is caused by congestion of the prostate due to various reasons, especially passive congestion, which is an important pathogenic factor. Non-infectious, non-microbiological prolonged congestion can lead to non-specific inflammatory reactions. Frequent sexual activity, forced interruption of intercourse, or excessive masturbation can all cause abnormal congestion of the prostate. However, excessive abstinence from sexual activity can also lead to prolonged automatic excitement, resulting in passive congestion. To confirm the diagnosis, you need to undergo relevant examinations at the hospital.
