Patient's question:
I have always been very healthy and rarely get sick, but recently I've been experiencing frequent urination, urgency, and sometimes a burning sensation during urination, which feels extremely painful. I've heard from others that it might be prostatitis, and I want to know the methods for a thorough examination of the prostate. I plan to go to the hospital for a check-up in a few days. How should the examination be conducted?Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis of prostatitis involves various examination methods, but, in formal hospitals, patients are typically given both left and right examinations when diagnosing prostatitis. The key to prostatitis is early detection and early treatment. Before treating prostatitis, it is necessary to first conduct examinations for prostatitis. 1. X-ray. 2. Digital rectal examination. 3. Prostate biopsy. 4. B-ultrasound examination. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence.
