Patient's question:
I want to ask you a question, how much does it cost to conduct a thorough examination and diagnosis for prostatitis? I went to consult the big hospital near my home, and they quoted a price of over 1400 to 2000 yuan. Is this a normal price? I'm worried about being deceived, so I came to ask.Doctor's answer:
It doesn't require so much money to have a thorough check. For prostatitis, a general examination can usually include a prostate ultrasound or a routine examination of prostatic fluid. The cost is generally between dozens to over a hundred yuan, which is quite common. If the check reveals white blood cells, further bacterial culture may be needed, which usually costs around a couple of hundred yuan. It's best to go to a hospital, such as those affiliated with famous universities. The fees there are relatively more standardized. In addition to treating prostatitis, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
