Patient's question:
Hello, I have been treated for two months due to a urinary tract infection with Staphylococcus aureus. All tests in the secretion examination were negative, but I still feel lower back pain and abdominal pain. I went to the hospital to check prostatic fluid, which showed ++ leukocyte esterase and ++ WBC, with a small amount of pus. Is it possible that I have chronic prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The pain of chronic prostatitis is not limited to the urethra and perineum; it can also radiate to nearby areas, with lower back pain being the most common. Additionally, the penis, spermatic cord, testicles/scrotum, lower abdomen, groin (inner thigh), thighs, and rectum can all be affected. Chronic prostatitis can be combined with neurasthenia, manifesting as fatigue, dizziness, and insomnia. Prolonged and persistent prostatitis may even trigger systemic allergic reactions, leading to conditions such as conjunctivitis and arthritis. It is recommended to seek further examination at a regular hospital's urology department. After a clear diagnosis based on test results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Avoid self-medication to prevent delaying the condition. I hope this helps.
