Patient's question:
Drink about 2 cups of water (500 ml) from disposable cups, and you need to go to the toilet after about 40 minutes. Then, you need to go 2 to 4 times every 20 minutes or so. If you don't drink water, you can wait for about 2 and a half hours. After going to the toilet before bed at night, you must get up once in the middle of the night, usually around 2 or 3:30 a.m.? The onset of the symptoms has been about 4 years. What kind of help do you need: 1. What kind of detailed examination should be done at the hospital? Can a urine test alone detect prostatitis? 2. Can a urine test determine whether prostatitis is acute, chronic, infectious, or bacterial? Please provide a detailed response. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
There's nothing unusual about this. It's normal for urine output to increase after drinking a lot of water. If you have a habit of urinating at night, you'll get used to waking up at that time to urinate.Advice: If you want to check for prostatitis, you can start with an ultrasound and then, if there are any abnormalities, proceed with a further examination of prostatic fluid routine. If there are no issues, it means everything is normal. There's no need to test your urine.
Prostatitis is a condition that doesn't always fully heal. Friends with this condition should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only then can they boost their confidence in fighting prostatitis and believe that recovery is definitely possible.
