Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I am 38 years old this year. At the beginning of this month, I had some discomfort during urination, but because I was quite busy, I didn't pay much attention. Later, my wife said it might be prostatitis. How can I test for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis requires consultation with a specialized doctor. Based on clinical diagnostic symptoms, a comprehensive analysis must be conducted, including additional careful examinations such as routine urine tests, prostatic fluid tests, semen tests, etc., to determine whether prostatitis is present. Pain during urination may also be caused by a urinary tract infection, not necessarily prostatitis. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to drinking more cold water and maintaining good urination habits. Prostatitis tends to recur easily, requiring long-term medication for management.
