Dr. Li Mingchuan
Dull pain in the lower abdomen and testicles that eases after ejaculation may be caused by chronic prostatitis, orchitis, or epididymitis. It is recommended to maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid prolonged sitting and long-distance cycling, keep warm, and refrain from spicy, stimulating foods as well as smoking and alcohol. Depending on the specific cause, treatment options may include antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or traditional Chinese medicines, which should be used under a doctor's guidance to ensure safety. Local heat application, microwave therapy, and similar methods can help relieve pain. Patients are advised to seek timely medical evaluation when such symptoms occur, obtain an accurate diagnosis, and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, maintaining a positive mindset and healthy habits, along with actively following the doctor’s recommendations, is essential for recovery.
