Patient's question:
Already diagnosed with prostatitis, not sure how severe it is. What are the ways to check for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of prostatitis itself is quite troublesome. The main standard for diagnosis is that bacteria must be found in the prostatic fluid. Ultrasound and a thorough examination of prostatic fluid are essential for diagnosis, so advanced diagnostic methods such as transrectal ultrasound are required. Prostatitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek treatment at a professional and reputable hospital immediately and consider treatment based on examination results. Additionally, pay attention to a proper diet, avoid sexual activity, and finally, wish all patients a speedy recovery.
