Patient's question:
I am 41 years old this year, and I have had prostatitis for several years. Whenever it gets severe, I take some anti-inflammatory drugs. Recently, my prostatitis has flared up again, and I am ready to treat this disease properly. The doctor suggested that I get a blood test. Is it okay to have a blood test for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
To diagnose how to have prostatitis, simply doing a blood test and a urine test is not sufficient for diagnosis. It is necessary to go to the urology department of the hospital to perform a prostatic fluid test and a prostate ultrasound to confirm the condition. If you have prostatitis, it is essential to conduct a thorough and meticulous examination during work.Frequent episodes of prostatitis require a clear investigation into the underlying cause—whether it is due to poor lifestyle habits or incomplete self-healing from treatment. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of episodes. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely symptomatic treatment and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
