Patient's question:
What tests should be done for a prostate examination at the hospital? I have a history of unsafe sex and have had prostatitis for nearly 4 years. I plan to go for a follow-up check-up soon. What tests should I do?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can cause discomfort symptoms such as incomplete urination, frequent urination, and urgent urination. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to drinking more water and maintaining a diet that avoids spicy and irritating foods. Avoid catching colds or exposure to wind. Prostatitis can be stabilized, but the treatment process is generally slow, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a light diet. Avoid consuming stimulating foods, smoking, and drinking beer.
