Dull pain in the lower abdomen and urethra

If you feel a dull pain in your lower abdomen connected to your urethra, it is usually related to inflammation of the urinary system. It may also be caused by inflammation of the reproductive system. For men, it may be caused by prostatitis. In addition, diseases such as stones may also cause such a phenomenon. For women, you should be alert to some gynecological inflammations, such as vaginal inflammation. Below we will only introduce it from the perspective of prostatitis.

What are the tips for preventing prostatitis?

1. Proper temperature control: For men who like to be cool, the indoor temperature should be properly controlled in summer. Even if the outdoor temperature exceeds 30℃, the indoor temperature should be reduced to not below 20℃. Pay attention to indoor temperature changes and weather forecasts at any time, add or remove clothes appropriately, and adjust the air-conditioning temperature to a temperature suitable for the human body. Don't think that there is no need to prevent prostatitis because the weather is hot in summer. 2. Properly protect the prostate: Even in summer, you should keep your body warm when using air conditioning, and pay special attention to protecting the prostate. You can put on more clothes in the air-conditioned room, and pay special attention to preventing the lower abdomen from getting cold.

Targeted diet: Eat more foods rich in zinc, such as lean meat, legumes, peanuts, sesame seeds, etc. You can also eat more whole grains, nuts, vegetable oils, fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement various antioxidants and enhance the prostate's ability to resist infection.

The dangers of not treating prostatitis:

1. It can cause infertility. Long-term chronic inflammation causes changes in the composition of prostatic fluid and affects the secretory function of the prostate, which in turn affects the liquefaction time of semen and reduces sperm motility, which can lead to male infertility. 2. Prostatitis can be transmitted to the wife, especially prostatitis caused by some special bacteria, the inflammation of which can be transmitted to the wife through sexual intercourse. Such as fungal prostatitis, Trichomonas prostatitis, gonorrhea prostatitis, non-gonococcal (chlamydia, mycoplasma) prostatitis, etc. Recommended reading: Tips for preventing prostatitis in summer 3. Endocrine disorders lead to mental abnormalities. Under normal circumstances, the prostate can secrete a variety of active substances. Due to inflammation of the prostate and endocrine disorders, neurasthenia and mental abnormalities may occur; symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, dizziness, slow thinking, and memory loss may also occur. 4. Causes chronic nephritis to develop into uremia. If prostatitis is not treated promptly, it can lead to prostate hyperplasia, which will compress the bladder outlet, preventing urine from being completely emptied and resulting in residual urine. Residual urine is a good culture medium for bacterial reproduction. In addition, the defense mechanism of the bladder mucosa is damaged, so it is very easy to cause urinary tract infections such as pyelonephritis. If the treatment is not thorough, it will develop from pyelonephritis, hydronephrosis, etc., and then develop into nephritis, and finally develop into uremia.
