Persistent urethral pain caused by prostatitis requires identifying the underlying cause, which may include microbial infection, prostatic congestion, or urine reflux. To address this symptom, the following measures can be taken:
1. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, use anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs such as levofloxacin tablets or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets to reduce inflammation and relieve pain.
2. Physical therapy: Techniques such as prostate massage and heat application can improve blood circulation and help alleviate pain.
3. General management: Modify unhealthy lifestyle habits—avoid prolonged sitting, reduce sexual activity frequency, quit smoking, and limit alcohol consumption. Drinking plenty of water helps flush the urethra and reduce discomfort.
4. Seek timely medical care: If pain persists or worsens, prompt medical evaluation is recommended to determine the exact cause and initiate targeted treatment, preventing further progression of the condition.
