Patient's question:
A few days ago, I took a cold shower, which might have caused a chill around my lower abdomen, leading to some discomfort. It's very mild and comes in intermittent waves, accompanied by a slight burning sensation. After ejaculation, I also feel some discomfort, a hollow feeling that's hard to describe but quickly disappears. This has never happened before. As for urination and other functions, everything is normal. I'm not sure if I'm just being overly paranoid. The doctor said there's nothing wrong and that it might be due to a chill, which will improve on its own. I'm seeking advice from the doctor for some perspective. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The possibility of prostatitis is high. 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 the habit of masturbation, it is advised that you first break the habit of masturbation, as excessive masturbation can not only lead to prolonged congestion of the prostate but also weaken the kidneys over time. 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. Additionally, you can take a hot bath while seated before bed each night to promote blood circulation in the prostate.
