No infection and leukocytosis, does prostatitis exist?

Patient's question:

But do I have prostatitis with mild symptoms of frequent urination and incomplete urination, as well as decreased libido?

Doctor's answer:

The diagnosis of prostatitis should include symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and discomfort in the perineal area, along with a careful examination of prostatic fluid showing more than 10 white blood cells. Sometimes, there may be no symptoms, and simply an increase in white blood cells in the prostatic fluid is not enough to diagnose prostatitis. Moreover, the examination of prostatic fluid should be conducted in a regular hospital. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can reduce recurrence. If not treated in time, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
