Patient's question:
Last year, I felt unwell and went for a check-up, where I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Over the past few years, it has been recurring frequently, and it hasn't fully resolved. My wife has also been trying to get pregnant without success. I am currently very distressed. Could you please ask: How much does a general check-up for prostatitis usually cost?Doctor's answer:
The cost of prostate-related examinations is approximately 300 yuan, including tests such as urine, prostatic fluid, color Doppler ultrasound, and bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests. It is recommended to choose a regular and professional hospital for thorough examination and treatment.Prostatitis has complex causes, especially chronic prostatitis, which exhibits diverse symptoms, has hidden etiology, and is difficult to diagnose. Moreover, medications often struggle to reach the affected area, making it easy for prostate diseases to persist, recur repeatedly, and be hard to treat. Therefore, a combined treatment approach using both Chinese and Western medications, along with physical therapy, is recommended. This involves selecting sensitive medications based on test results and the nature of prostatitis, using sufficient dosage, and following a prescribed course of treatment.
