Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Intermittent pain in the middle of the lower abdomen, especially before urination at night. Discomfort in the perineum, scrotum, and groin, with mild pain and discomfort affecting the knee, thigh, and calf.Duration and course of the current illness: 2-3 months
Current general condition: Fatigue.

Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis primarily manifests with symptoms such as frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular region. There is often a white discharge from the urethra, accompanied by symptoms like lower back and knee weakness, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "heat-dampness obstruction," "exertion-induced stranguria," and "cloudy sperm." It is further divided into patterns such as "heat-dampness stagnation," "yin deficiency with fire effulgence," "insufficient kidney yang," and "blood and Qi stagnation."However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local TCM hospital, combining clinical observations with the four diagnostic methods to prescribe the appropriate medication for effective treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Self-Treatment Plan:
1. Massage along both sides of the urethra for 15–20 minutes daily, adjusting the intensity to your comfort level.
2. Perform anal contraction exercises while standing, 50–100 times each morning and evening, until you feel a sensation of warmth and slight soreness in the anus.
3. In summer, apply cold compresses with a damp towel to the testicles, 2–3 times per night, until the testicles contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises daily, such as jogging for 10–15 minutes, until you sweat slightly.
6. Clasp your hands at the waist each morning to stimulate kidney blood circulation, ideally 100–1500 times.
