Patient's question:
Always experiencing lower abdominal and pelvic pain, often with frequent urination and urgency during urination, sometimes accompanied by pain.Doctor's answer:
Hello, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and other areas, as well as urinary discomfort, should be checked for the possibility of prostatitis. The main causes include the direct spread of urinary tract infections, hematogenous dissemination of infections from other parts of the body, and prostatic calculi. Additionally, various factors that cause prostatic congestion, such as excessive alcohol consumption, sexual stimulation, prolonged sitting, tight clothing, long-term, and perineal trauma, are also triggers for prostatitis. Clinical symptoms are diverse, such as:1. Pain: Discomfort or pain in the perineum, pubic area, groin, lower abdomen, lumbosacral region, scrotum, testicles, and urethra.
2. Urinary abnormalities: Urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying, hesitation, splitting, dripping, weak stream, and nocturia.
3. Urethral discharge (white or clear mucus discharge from the urethral meatus in the morning, at the end of urination, or during straining during defecation).
4. Impact on sexual function and fertility: Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emissions, painful ejaculation, yellow semen, etc.
5. Neurasthenia or mental symptoms: Dizziness, fatigue, insomnia, frequent dreams, anxiety, etc.
Therefore, it is recommended that you pay attention to hygiene, consider your own condition, and seek early medical examination, such as routine prostatic fluid tests and prostatic ultrasound, to confirm the diagnosis. After confirming the condition, follow medical advice actively. In daily life, proper care should be taken, such as:
1. Maintain sexual hygiene, avoid unhealthy sexual habits, and avoid interrupted intercourse or frequent masturbation. Regular sexual activity helps regularly expel prostatic fluid, which is important for treatment.
2. Minimize pressure on the perineum, avoid tight clothing, and avoid prolonged cycling, horseback riding, or.
3. Quit smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and reduce triggers for recurrence.
4. Drink plenty of water to increase urine output, which helps expel inflammatory secretions.
5. Actively participate in physical exercise to enhance physical fitness, etc.
Wishing you good health!
