Hello Doctor,
I am experiencing discomfort beneath the ribcage, a persistent ache in the testicles, lower back pain, a slight burning sensation during urination, and discomfort in the groin area. What could these symptoms indicate?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Symptoms Suggest Potential Prostate Infection: Lower back pain, testicular discomfort, groin pain, and burning during urination may indicate prostatitis.
Comprehensive Examination Essential: It includes physical assessment, urine, and blood tests to pinpoint the cause and treatment.
Proper Diagnosis is Crucial: Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the underlying cause, whether bacterial or non-bacterial, and guide the treatment approach.
Antibiotics May Be Prescribed: Bacterial prostatitis typically requires antibiotics. Complete the full course, even if symptoms improve.
Consult a Healthcare Provider: To receive proper diagnosis and treatment, it is strongly recommended to consult a healthcare provider, particularly a urologist.
Thanks
