Doctor's answer:

According to your description, a urinalysis cannot diagnose prostatitis. It also cannot confirm that the prostate is problem-free. I suggest you go to the hospital for a thorough examination, including color Doppler ultrasound and prostatic fluid tests, to confirm how the prostate is affected. Pay attention to rest, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and quit smoking and drinking. Additionally, for patients with prostatitis, diet and care during treatment are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to their diet, eat more light foods, and avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
