Analysis of the condition: There is a high possibility of prostatitis in this case. Prostatitis is generally classified into non-specific bacterial prostatitis, idiopathic bacterial prostatitis, specific prostatitis, non-specific granulomatous prostatitis, prostatitis caused by other pathogens, as well as prostatodynia and prostatalgia. Symptoms may include frequent urination, a burning sensation and pain during urination that radiates to the head of the penis. Mucus or other secretions may be present at the urethral meatus in the morning, and a feeling of difficulty urinating may also occur. It may also radiate to nearby areas, with lower back pain being the most common. Additionally, the penis, spermatic cord, testicles, scrotum, lower abdomen, inguinal region (inner thigh), thighs, and rectum may be affected. Chronic prostatitis can lead to decreased libido, painful ejaculation, premature ejaculation, and affect semen quality.Guidance: Antibiotics can be used for a thorough treatment. It is best to choose a sensitive antibiotic and treat for three to four weeks to ensure complete recovery, preventing it from becoming chronic prostatitis. For chronic prostatitis, a comprehensive treatment approach is recommended, including medication, physical therapy, and eliminating unhealthy lifestyle habits. Chinese herbal medicine containing pollen preparations can be used, as they have anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects.
Lifestyle care: You can take hot water baths at home, one to two times a day, for about 30 minutes each time. If you persist, the results will be quite good. It is important to eliminate unhealthy habits, such as excessive alcohol consumption, masturbation, and prolonged sitting.
