Q: Prostatitis and inguinal hernias
asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 30th, 2009
Pain in perenium area (between testicle and bum) sore when sitting, walking but not when lying down. Feels lumpy when sat down. Tense muscle running from testicle to bum in centre and pains either side of perenium in joints.

Flu like symptoms sometimes, frequent urination. Cramping when ejaculating, feels like bladder not fully empty. Pains in abdomen sometimes feels swollen like a hernia and hairs on my tummy are very sore to rub.

Have to force to go for a poo alot (previous history when I was young).

Don't know what it is, Dr's and consultants seem to think hernia. They want to try diagnostic laporospocy but I feel it isn't a hernia.

Thanks

Pain in the perineum while sitting or walking, frequent urination, and painful ejaculation, all together, could suggest having prostate inflammation (prostatitis). You need urine and sperm analyses to confirm or exclude a prostate infection.

An inguinal hernia is manifested with localized swelling under the skin in the groin area that can pull back. An inguinal hernia could be potentially a life threatening condition if the hernia’s containment gets stuck and it can't pull back in to the abdominal cave. A physical examination is usually enough to diagnose an inguinal hernia.
