How Long Does It Take For Testicular Pain From Prostatitis To Heal?

Prostatitis mainly refers to a disease of the prostate area, and the main symptoms are urinary urgency, frequent urination, and pain urination. In addition, testicular pain is also a symptom that is becoming increasingly common in patients with prostatitis.

Since testicular pain seriously affects patients' normal life, they are very concerned about how long it takes for testicular pain to go away.

How does prostatitis cause testicular pain? How long does it take for testicular pain caused by prostatitis to heal?

Prostatitis is an inflammation or infection of the prostate tissue, and the inflammatory response can lead to congestion and swelling of the surrounding tissues. If left untreated, the inflammation can spread to the nearby testicles and epididymis, leading to testicular pain.

Prostatitis may also lead to problems such as difficulty in urination and retention of urine, and these symptoms can further interfere with the normal elimination of urine, which increases the irritation of urine on the prostate and testicles, leading to testicular pain.

Additionally, prostatitis may cause the prostate tissue to enlarge, which can press on the nerves that run in the pelvic floor. These pelvic floor nerves innervate the scrotum and testicles and can cause testicular pain.

To get relief from the symptoms of testicular pain caused by prostatitis, one can not rely on natural self-healing; patients must take the appropriate pain relief methods.

Medication is the most effective way to treat prostatitis and relieve pain simultaneously. Doctors usually choose the proper medication according to the cause of the disease. For example, they will select sensitive antibiotics for bacterial prostatitis according to drug sensitivity tests and bacterial culture to treat the condition. 

For non-bacterial prostatitis, it is better to choose traditional Chinese medicine, such as Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for treatment. The pill has the functions of anti-inflammatory, sterilization, detoxification, and pain relief, which can not only effectively relieve pain but also combat the root cause of the disease and completely eradicate prostatitis.

Other than that, there are other ways to relieve pain:

1. Hot Compress: It can reduce testicular pain by increasing blood circulation and relieving inflammation and muscle tension. The specific method is to place a warm wet towel or hot water bag in the testicular area for 15-20 minutes and repeat this process several times to help relieve pain and discomfort.

2. Rest and Relaxation: Ensure adequate rest and relaxation time and avoid prolonged sitting or standing. Use a comfortable pillow to support your lower back when lying flat to reduce pressure on your prostate and testicles.

3. Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercises: Strengthening pelvic floor muscle can improve testicular pain caused by prostatitis. Pelvic floor muscle exercises are designed to increase the strength and flexibility of the muscles and can be performed by contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. It is essential to consult a medical professional before performing these exercises.

4. Diet Adjustment: Avoid spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol as they may irritate the urethra and prostate and aggravate painful symptoms. Choose a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and probiotic-rich foods that help boost the immune system and have anti-inflammatory effects.

All of these methods can relieve the symptoms of testicular pain caused by prostatitis, but their effectiveness varies from individual to individual. Some patients may feel significant improvement within a few days or weeks, while others may take longer. However, patients do not need to worry too much; as long as they actively cooperate with the doctor and adhere to the treatment, most of them can be restored to health.

Men can also drink more water daily to replenish the body's moisture and promote the body's metabolism, ensure a good night's sleep, and appropriate physical exercise to enhance immunity, all of which can effectively prevent prostatitis.
