Patient's question:
The doctor said I have prostatitis and recommended that I have an ultrasound. I did it at the hospital, and the ultrasound showed that my prostate had uneven echoes. I'm a bit confused about this situation—will it affect my life? What does it mean when the ultrasound echoes of the prostate are uneven?Doctor's answer:
Prostate echo is uneven, which is caused by prostatitis. In cases of prostatitis, because the prostate is inflamed, the penetration of sound waves under ultrasound is not uniform. This will result in uneven echoes. Currently, it will not harm life, and treatment of prostatitis is sufficient. Antibiotic drugs can be chosen, such as quinolone-class antibiotics or tetracycline-class antibiotics.
