Why does a man with prostatitis have pain on the right side of his lower abdomen?

Prostatitis is a disease that is unique to men, and its incidence rate is also very high in our lives, especially for some young people. Many patients with prostatitis will experience pain on the right side of the lower abdomen. I believe everyone wants to know why they have stomach pains, and how to treat prostatitis so that they don't have stomach pains? Now let me introduce you to the specific causes and treatment measures!

Causes

1) It is an infection caused by various pathogenic microorganisms. Viruses, mycoplasmas, chlamydia, bacteria, spirochetes, fungi, trichomonas, etc. can all cause disease. The main route is urinary tract infection. The ascending infected urine spreads retrogradely from the prostatic part of the urethra to the prostatic gland duct, causing bacterial inflammation.

(2) Biological factors also include the body's immune capacity. When the body's immunity is normal, even if there are pathogens in the urethra, it will not cause infection and disease. On the contrary, if the body's immunity is reduced, the non-pathogenic bacteria that normally exist in the urinary system can also cause disease.

Treatment

Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can improve symptoms. Generally, indomethacin is taken orally or in suppositories. Chinese medicine also has certain effects in using anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing, detoxifying, and hardness-softening drugs. Allopurinol can reduce the concentration of uric acid in the whole body and prostatic fluid. Theoretically, as a free radical scavenger, it can also remove active oxygen components, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It is an optional auxiliary treatment method.

Physical therapy

Prostate massage can empty the concentrated secretions in the prostate duct and drain the infection focus in the obstructed area of ​​the gland. Therefore, for stubborn cases, prostate massage can be performed every 3 to 7 days while using antibiotics. A variety of physical factors are used for prostate physiotherapy, such as microwave, radio frequency, ultrashort wave, medium wave and hot water sitz bath, which are beneficial for relaxing the prostate, posterior urethral smooth muscle and pelvic floor muscle, enhancing antibacterial efficacy and relieving pain symptoms.

In fact, there are many clinical causes of prostatitis, such as poor hygiene habits, excessive masturbation, etc. The treatment methods mentioned above are all very simple self-conditioning methods. Men must not ignore the pain on the right side of their lower abdomen caused by prostatitis, because this disease can lead to male infertility when it is serious.
