Patient's question:
I started feeling that I had a lot of nocturia and frequent urination during the day. When urinating, I experienced a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine was not much. I also always felt like I wasn't fully emptying my bladder. My lower back, waist, and abdomen were in severe pain. I suspect it might be prostatitis. Please ask: How is the cost of checking for prostatitis usually handled?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Prostatitis is a common inflammation in men, classified into multiple types, with bacterial prostatitis accounting for a larger proportion, with Escherichia coli being more common. Common examination methods include prostatic fluid examination, urine bacterial culture, urodynamic tests, as well as MRI, among others. Please consult a doctor before undergoing these examinations. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
