Prostatitis causes testicular swelling and pain

Testicular swelling and pain caused by prostatitis is usually related to the spread of inflammation or nerve reflexes, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Treatment methods mainly include antibiotic treatment, physical therapy, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, lifestyle adjustment, pain management and other methods. It is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly to determine the cause of the disease and avoid triggering factors such as prolonged sitting and spicy diet.

1. Antibiotic treatment

Bacterial prostatitis requires the use of antibiotics such as levofloxacin tablets, cefixime dispersible tablets, and azithromycin capsules as directed by the doctor. These drugs can inhibit the reproduction of pathogens and reduce the pain caused by prostate congestion and edema to the testicles. It is necessary to avoid drinking alcohol during medication and complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of drug resistance. If testicular swelling and pain are accompanied by fever or purulent secretions, it indicates that the infection has worsened, and a timely follow-up visit is required to adjust the medication plan.

2. Physical therapy

Warm water sitz bath or perineal hot compress can promote local blood circulation and relieve testicular radiating pain caused by prostate congestion. Microwave, short wave and other physical therapies can improve tissue metabolism and reduce inflammatory reactions. Performing levator ani exercises for 15-20 minutes every day can help enhance pelvic floor muscle function and reduce prostate fluid accumulation. Be careful not to pressurize the perineum while riding or sitting for long periods of time.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine conditioning

Chinese patent medicines such as Qianlieshutong Capsules and Longqing Tablets can be used for damp-heat injection type, while Qianliexin Capsules are suitable for blood stasis-blocking type. Traditional Chinese medicine can relieve the feeling of testicular swelling by clearing away heat and promoting dampness, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Combining honeysuckle and dandelion tea can help reduce inflammation and diuresis. During the treatment period, you need to avoid eating spicy foods and maintain a regular schedule to consolidate the curative effect.

4. Lifestyle adjustment

Drink more than 2000 ml of water every day to dilute urine, and reduce the intake of spicy alcohol to prevent irritation of the prostate. Avoid holding in your urine and overexertion, and get up and move around for 5 minutes every hour you sit. Moderate aerobic exercise such as jogging and swimming can improve pelvic blood circulation. Keep the perineum clean and dry, and the frequency of sexual intercourse is recommended 2-3 times a week to drain prostatic fluid regularly.

5. Pain Management

If testicular swelling and pain persist, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets can be used for a short period of time. In severe cases, periprostatic nerve block may be used. Psychological counseling can help alleviate the amplifying effect of anxiety on pain. If the pain radiates to the lumbosacral region or is accompanied by hematospermia, complications such as seminal vesiculitis need to be ruled out.

You should pay attention to keeping warm every day to avoid catching cold, and choose loose and breathable cotton underwear to reduce local friction. Increasing the intake of zinc-containing foods such as pumpkin seeds and tomatoes can help repair the prostate. Regularly review prostate fluid routine and ultrasound to observe the subsidence of inflammation. If symptoms recur for more than 3 months, chronic prostatitis should be considered, and bacterial culture should be performed to guide precise medication if necessary.
