Patient's question:
For two or three years, the onset of symptoms was during the New Year this year. Previously, it was treated with physical therapy, but it recurred afterward. The main symptoms are pain in the prostate and lower abdomen, a bloated feeling, and soreness in the inner thighs, without any urinary symptoms.Doctor's answer:
"Abdominal pain and thigh root soreness" may be related to prostatodynia. The following suggestions are for your reference!1. Over 96% of chronic prostatitis cases are non-bacterial, associated with prostatic congestion and pelvic floor muscle spasms. Antibiotics are generally not recommended for treatment. Your condition may be related to prostatodynia, which is one symptom of prostatitis radiation pain, or linked to poor lifestyle habits such as prolonged sitting.
2. Prostatic fluid routine tests lack objectivity and are only used for reference during initial diagnosis. They are no longer used for diagnosis or evaluating treatment efficacy. The primary basis for prostatitis diagnosis is clinical manifestations, symptoms, and improvements in quality of life. The principle of prostatitis treatment is primarily to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life. Focusing solely on prostatic fluid test results is highly incorrect and misleading. Clinical cure is achieved when symptoms improve and quality of life is enhanced.
3. Prostatitis does not have a severity classification, as it is merely a condition that affects quality of life and does not cause substantial harm to your health.
4. It is recommended to adjust your mindset, change your lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting, drink more water, and refrain from alcohol consumption.
5. Treatment must adhere to the principle of "regular hospitals and regular treatment."
6. If necessary, it is advisable to consult a traditional Chinese medicine urology department at a large public general hospital for regulation with TCM and observe the effects over a period of time.
