Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a patient with prostatitis and have just started understanding the treatment. In a few days, our unit will begin health check-ups, but I am worried that I will be diagnosed with prostatitis during the health check-up. Hello, is there any way to get away with it?Doctor's answer:
A physical examination can detect symptoms of prostatitis. During the examination, one may need to undergo an ultrasound or a blood and urine test to check for urinary tract inflammation. Since the causative pathogens of prostatitis vary, the treatment approaches also differ. Before identifying the type of pathogen, it is not advisable to start treatment blindly. This is because the structure of the prostate is quite unique, and most medications struggle to penetrate it.
