Besides, my right leg is often sore at night. What's more, urethral drop white occurs. Dr..Lee, left lower abdomen pain sometimes is a warning of prostatitis.
Why does pain in left lower abdomen happen?

Long-lasting frequent urine, urinary urgency, dysuria and discomfort in prostate are all symptoms of prostatitis. However, another possibility is that there's no pyocyte, no obvious pathological change and no bacteria in prostate fluid. Such patients are usually treated with treatment of chronic prostatitis. Though a lot of antibiotic have been taken, it seems that they didn't work well. In fact, they are not chronic prostatitis patients at all. That is because both urethral muscle and genuine prostate muscle spasm cause pain, in other words, prostatodynia.

Three to five minutes is enough till prostate fluid comes out. Don't forget that the pressing power should be gentle.Self health care is required.
