What to do if prostatitis causes testicular pain

Dull testicular pain caused by prostatitis can be relieved through drug treatment, physical therapy, life adjustment, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, surgical treatment and other methods. Prostatitis may be caused by bacterial infection, prolonged sitting, decreased immunity, urinary reflux, mental stress and other factors.

1. Drug treatment

Patients with bacterial prostatitis can use antibiotics such as levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, cefaclor sustained-release tablets, and azithromycin dispersible tablets as directed by their doctor to control infection. For non-bacterial prostatitis, celecoxib capsules can be used to relieve pain, and tamsulosin sustained-release capsules can be used to improve urinary symptoms. During medication, you must avoid drinking alcohol and adjust the dosage by yourself.

2. Physical therapy

Taking a warm water sitz bath 1-2 times a day can promote local blood circulation and relieve the feeling of testicular swelling. Prostate massage needs to be performed by a professional physician to help drain accumulated prostate fluid. Use a hot water bottle at about 40℃ for local hot compress, 15-20 minutes each time, be careful to avoid burns.

3. Life adjustment

Avoid sitting for more than 1 hour continuously and get up and move around for 5 minutes every hour. Reduce the intake of spicy foods and keep the daily water intake above 2000 ml. Regular semen ejaculation helps to metabolize prostatic fluid. It is recommended to have moderate sex 1-2 times a week. Keep the scrotal area dry and clean.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine conditioning

Qianlie Shutong Capsules can be used for the damp-heat type, Longkushu Capsules can be used for the qi stagnation and blood stasis type, and Jingui Shenqi Pills can be used for the kidney yang deficiency type. For acupuncture, acupuncture points such as Guanyuan and Sanyinjiao are selected and treated 2-3 times a week. Traditional Chinese medicine sitz bath can be decoctioned with heat-clearing and detoxifying medicinal materials such as dandelion and cork.

5. Surgical treatment

Transurethral prostate abscess drainage is required for patients with severe urinary retention symptoms who are complicated by prostate abscess.

5. Surgical treatment

Transurethral resection of the prostate is required when combined with prostate stones or abscesses, and cystostomy may be required in patients with severe urinary retention. A urinary catheter needs to be left in place for 3-5 days after surgery, and urination and testicular pain changes should be closely observed.

Wear loose, breathable underwear every day and avoid activities that squeeze the perineum such as riding. Increase zinc-rich foods such as pumpkin seeds and tomatoes in your diet, and limit caffeine intake. Maintain aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or swimming, at least three times a week. Keeping a urination diary helps doctors evaluate the condition. If symptoms continue to worsen or are accompanied by fever, timely review is required. Avoid overexertion and mental stress during treatment, and use meditation to relieve psychological stress.
