Patient's question:
During this period, the sexual intercourse duration has been relatively short, and there has been discomfort in the groin area, sometimes accompanied by redness, swelling, and pain. I visited a doctor, who said it was prostatitis caused by a bacterial infection. However, the specific type of bacteria needs to be determined through bacterial culture. I would like to ask how long it takes for a bacterial culture of prostatic fluid to be completed?Doctor's answer:
Now you have prostatitis. If you want to diagnose which bacteria cause prostatitis, you need to do a bacterial culture of prostatic fluid. As for how long it takes to get the results, it varies depending on the hospital's level, and the time it takes to get the results also varies. Most hospitals can get the results in about 5 days. Since prostatitis is a chronic disease, you can wait for 5 days before starting medication treatment, and it won't delay the condition. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce the frequency of attacks. If treatment is not timely, it will affect your health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
