Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a check-up and had a prostate fluid test, urine test, and color Doppler ultrasound. The diagnosis was chronic aseptic prostatitis, but the ultrasound showed inflammation. I've been experiencing frequent urination and a sense of needing to urinate in my penis. I took medication for a week and have improved a lot, but suddenly last night I felt feverish and it came back again. Should I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up again?Doctor's answer:
The above situation may be due to fever causing prostatitis to soften. In this case, it is necessary to focus on treating the current condition, and temporary re-examination may not be required. The treatment for prostatitis is relatively slow, and it is recommended to continue taking the original medication orally while combining hot water sitz baths for treatment. Recovery from this condition can be faster for patients with prostatitis. For prostatitis patients, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If treatment is not timely, it may affect overall health.
