Is there a connection between periumbilical and lower abdominal tenderness and prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Pain around the navel, slight lower abdominal pain, is it related to prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, prostatitis can cause the symptoms mentioned above. A prostatic fluid test can be performed to aid in diagnosis.
When abdominal pain is generally tolerable, it is important to seek medical diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible. Avoid self-administering painkillers, as this may mask the condition.
For patients experiencing intermittent abdominal pain, adhere to the "four bans":
- No food intake
- Avoid strong painkillers
- Avoid laxatives
- Avoid enemas
When necessary, a hot water bag can be used to warm the abdomen to alleviate the pain.
