How to find out what infection causes prostatitis?

Patient's question:

How to identify the virus causing prostatitis? Is my condition serious? How can I determine the specific type? Thank you very much to all the doctors for taking the time out of your busy schedules to help me. It has been three or four years, and it used to be less noticeable... Frequent urination, incomplete urination, occasional urinary tract pain during urination, sometimes difficulty maintaining an erection during sex, weak ejaculation. Occasionally, lower back pain, slight sweating after sex, and I'm prone to catching colds if I don't take care.
Previous Treatment and Effects:
I had an ultrasound at the hospital. No obvious abnormalities were found in the kidneys or bladder. The prostate size was 4.6x3.1x2.8, with a rough capsule. The left and right lobes were symmetrical. The internal echoes were slightly coarse and dense. No obvious cystic or solid masses were observed. The secretion bacterial culture was negative for Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU). Blood tests showed a test code ATPP, with partial thromboplastin time (PTT) being 4.

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis, it is recommended to use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment. Short-term oral α-blockers (e.g., Duzuo Jie) can also be taken. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol. Avoid spicy foods. Refrain from masturbation and excessive sexual activity. Prevent local cold stimuli. At the same time, physical therapy can enhance the therapeutic effect, with methods such as sitting in a basin (soak in warm water for about 10 minutes). Patients should face the discomfort of prostatitis and seek timely symptomatic treatment without hesitation. If prostatitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
