Patient's question:
A few days ago, I took a cold shower, and it's possible that the area around my lower abdomen got cold, causing some discomfort. It's just a very mild, intermittent discomfort with a slight burning sensation. After ejaculation, I also feel some discomfort, a kind of empty feeling, but it's hard to describe, and it disappears quickly. I've never had this before. As for urination and other things, everything is normal. I don't know if I'm just overthinking it. The doctor said there's nothing wrong, it might be due to catching a cold, and it will get better. I'm seeking advice from the doctor—please give your opinion. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
There is a high possibility of prostatitis. It is recommended that you first go to the hospital for a prostatic fluid examination. The treatment plan will be determined based on the white blood cell count and the presence of bacteria. Generally, the treatment for prostatitis includes anti-inflammatory drugs, traditional Chinese medicine regulation, and physical therapy. If you have a habit of masturbation, it is advised that you first break the habit of masturbation. Excessive masturbation can not only lead to prolonged congestion of the prostate but also, over time, cause kidney weakness. Avoid sitting for long periods, as prolonged sitting can also cause passive congestion of the prostate. Regular exercise is recommended to enhance your immune system. You can also take a hot bath while sitting before bed to promote blood circulation in the prostate.
