Can an ultrasound detect prostatitis?

Patient's question:

I have been feeling some pain for a while, and I often feel dampness in my scrotum. The symptoms of frequent urination and urgency are also very severe. Later, I went to a children's hospital nearby for a check-up, and the doctor said I had prostatitis. I would like to go to a larger hospital for a detailed ultrasound examination and diagnosis. Can it be checked?

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis can be examined with an ultrasound, but patients should first undergo a careful examination of prostatic fluid. Additionally, symptoms can be used to infer the clinical manifestations of prostatitis, which commonly include frequent urination, urinary urgency, dysuria, incomplete emptying of the bladder, urinary dripping, urinary splitting, white discharge during urination, and a burning sensation in the urethra during urination. Sexual arousal is a normal physiological response during the process of male sexual development and maturation. It is recommended to increase sexual stimulation and avoid exposure to books, videos, or images. If you experience any physical discomfort, it is important to seek medical examination and treatment at a formal hospital.
