Is a positive bacterial culture of prostatic fluid serious?

Patient's question:

Patient, hello. I previously had a positive bacterial culture of prostatic fluid. Is it serious? Everyone says that bacterial prostatitis is not good-looking. Should I do another bacterial culture? Now, I mainly feel discomfort in my penis and incomplete urination. Prostate 443331, thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Because collecting prostatic fluid inevitably involves contact with air, many of the bacteria cultured are airborne contaminants. Therefore, the significance of diagnostic assistance is limited, and it is recommended that patients seek follow-up at a reputable public hospital, considering the possibility of prostatitis. In addition to timely treatment for the prostate, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper eating habits and maintaining a positive mood. Meanwhile, patients should also be mindful of choosing an authoritative hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good therapeutic outcome.
