Hospital examination for prostatitis, what's the reason for the cold and pain in the scrotum these days?

Patient's question:

It has been almost a year since the onset of symptoms, with frequent urination and discomfort in the scrotum. Urinalysis and ultrasound results were all negative. The prostate is slightly enlarged with calcification spots.

Doctor's answer:

Common treatments for prostatitis include physical therapy (including high-frequency electric therapy, iontophoresis, magnetotherapy, sitz baths, and massage therapy) and medication (including antibiotic treatment, α-adrenergic blockers, muscle relaxants, and traditional Chinese medicine).
Recommendations:
- Quit smoking and drinking.
- Avoid spicy foods.
- Avoid masturbation and excessive sexual activity.
- Avoid local cold exposure.
Additionally, using physical therapy can enhance treatment effectiveness. Methods include sitz baths (soaking in warm water for about 10 minutes).
