Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with bacterial chronic prostatitis after a thorough examination at a top-tier hospital a month ago. After treatment, the white blood cells in my prostatic fluid were gone upon reexamination. Nine days ago, the reexamination showed 5-8 white blood cells. Yesterday, another reexamination revealed white blood cells filling the entire field of view. Today, I came to the hospital asking the doctor to perform a bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test. The doctor said it's unnecessary. Should I still do it?Doctor's answer:
This situation should be a recurrence of bacterial prostatitis, similar to the previous case. Generally, there is no need to perform bacterial culture again. Treatment can follow the previous method. Additionally, during the treatment of prostatitis, besides immediate medical intervention, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also very important. The patient must maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from prostatitis.
