Prolonged erection accompanied by mild pain in the lower abdomen and testicles can generally be treated with medications such as antibiotics. Patients experiencing the above symptoms should promptly visit a urology department for evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotic therapy. This condition is commonly seen in patients with prostate issues. In individuals with prostatitis, infection of the bladder neck mucosa can lead to difficulty urinating, incomplete voiding, frequent urination, and urgency. This may result in semen infection along the course of the vas deferens, causing testicular pain.
