Patient's question:
I am 27 years old. Since middle school and high school, I have frequently masturbated. Now, my scrotum is damp, and I feel like I can't urinate completely. I need to go to the toilet at night, and sometimes my lower abdomen also feels bloated. Recently, my calves and knees have been a bit swollen and numb.Doctor's answer:
Treatment of Prostatitis: The cause of this disease is currently unclear. It may involve inflammation of the prostate itself, as well as factors such as pelvic floor nerve sensitivity, patient depression and anxiety, or excessive focus on one's condition. General treatment should be tailored to the individual, emphasizing personalized care. For example, if the main symptoms are urinary issues without other discomforts, laboratory tests of prostatic fluid may reveal inflammation. In such cases, α-receptor antagonists and antibiotics are prescribed for 4-6 weeks. If the prostatic fluid is normal, only α-receptor antagonists are used. If there are mental abnormalities, tricyclic antidepressants may be administered along with appropriate social interaction, with attention focused on work and study, and masturbation should be avoided. If there is tenderness in the pelvic area, non-opioid analgesics can be added. Environmental symptoms may require the use of muscle relaxants such as Miosim, if necessary.
