How to confirm the diagnosis of prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Medical history: Intermittent burning sensation in urination, white discharge in underwear, transparent fluid at the urethral opening during erection. Prostate fluid test shows 1+ phospholipid bodies and 1-.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most of the doubts are about prostatitis. Self-treatment for chronic prostatitis is a common and frequently occurring disease among adult males. Whether it's a large, reputable hospital or a small private clinic, effective treatments are lacking. For chronic prostatitis with mild symptoms, there is no significant difference between treatment and waiting, but patients still urgently seek treatment. Therefore, the focus should shift from solving the "disease" problem to solving the "person" problem. The patient's self-regulation and their understanding of chronic prostatitis are particularly important.
