Patient's question:
This symptom has persisted for some time. It's that I often feel lower back pain and a sense of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and I also experience a feeling of incomplete urination. Additionally, there is some secretory fluid leaking from the urethral opening. The hospital examination said it was prostatitis. Please ask: Where is it better to get checked for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of prostatitis itself is quite challenging. The main criterion for diagnosis is the presence of bacteria in the prostatic fluid. Ultrasound and a thorough examination of the prostatic fluid are essential for diagnosis. Therefore, advanced diagnostic methods such as transrectal ultrasound are necessary for patients with prostatitis. Timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease, while delayed treatment may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
