Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel the need to urinate, with frequent urination and a feeling of incomplete emptying. There is also pain during urination. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was prostatitis. I have doubts about being diagnosed with prostatitis. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to have a prostate ultrasound and a detailed examination of prostatic fluid at the hospital, along with a urine routine test to confirm whether it is a prostate disease. Prostatitis refers to the occurrence of pelvic area pain or discomfort, urinary abnormalities, and sexual dysfunction, among other clinical manifestations, caused by the infection of pathogenic bacteria in the prostate and/or the influence of certain non-infectious factors. The main treatments include broad-spectrum antibiotics, symptomatic treatment, and supportive therapy.
