Patient's question:
3 years ago, I felt uncomfortable and went for a check-up, where I was diagnosed with prostatitis. In these years, it has been recurring repeatedly, and it hasn't fully resolved. My wife has also been unable to get pregnant. I am currently very distressed. Please ask: What tests are needed for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
It's simple to do such a thorough check-up. Generally, it involves an ultrasound and a prostate fluid test, along with a careful examination of the urine routine, etc. It usually costs only a couple of hundred yuan. Chronic prostatitis is quite common among young men, with main symptoms being frequent urination, urgency, pain during urination, and a feeling of heaviness or fullness in the perineum. If you don't have these symptoms, there's no need for a check-up. If you do have noticeable symptoms, visit a formal urology department in a hospital. Prostatitis tends to recur, so long-term medication is often required. For male patients, it's important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on the check-up results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
