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, affecting mild pain and discomfort in the knee, thigh, and calf.Duration and course of the current illness: 2-3 months
Current general condition: Fatigue.

Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis primarily presents with symptoms such as: frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, perineal pain, discomfort in the lower abdomen, perineum, and testicular area. There is often a white discharge in the urethra, accompanied by symptoms like lower back pain, weakness in the knees, impotence, premature ejaculation, and even hematuria or hematospermia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it falls under the categories of "heat-dampness obstruction," "lao-lin," and "jing-zhuo." It is further divided into:- Heat-dampness obstruction syndrome
- Yin deficiency with fire effulgence syndrome
- Kidney yang deficiency syndrome
- Qi and blood stagnation syndrome
However, TCM emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. You should consult a local TCM hospital, combining clinical observation with the four diagnostic methods (inspection, auscultation/olfaction, inquiry, and palpation) to receive targeted treatment for effective recovery. 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 before sleep, until you feel aching or warmth in the anus.
3. In summer, apply a cold compress with a damp towel to the testicles 2–3 times per night, ensuring they contract fully.
4. Completely relax your mental stress.
5. Engage in morning exercises daily, such as jogging for 10–15 minutes, until you break a light sweat.
6. Clasp your waist with both hands each morning to stimulate kidney blood circulation. The ideal range is 100–1,500 times.
