Patient's question:
I have had problems with sexual intercourse for 5 years. On average, I have about 1 to 2 sexual encounters per day. Recently, I've been feeling lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, and my penis has a weaker erection compared to before. Therefore, I suspect I might have prostatitis. I would like to ask which hospital is better for treating prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
If the patient does not show other symptoms, it is not possible to diagnose prostatitis solely based on the current clinical diagnostic symptoms. However, if the patient has a long sexual history, it may lead to prostatitis. In this case, you can go to the urology department of a local reputable tertiary hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor may recommend tests such as routine prostatic fluid examination and color Doppler ultrasound, among others. Please consult your attending physician based on the examination results.
