Patient's question:
My uncle has had prostatitis for a long time, and it has recently become more severe. He went for a thorough examination, and the doctor recommended checking the prostatic fluid. How does the hospital check the prostatic fluid?Doctor's answer:
Perform a careful examination of the prostatic fluid, primarily by performing a prostatic massage to extract the fluid. Before the examination, it is important to avoid smoking, drinking beer, and consuming spicy, irritating, or greasy foods to prevent any deviation in the results. If prostatitis is present, it is recommended to take anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor to kill bacteria and reduce inflammation. Additionally, this may lead to inaccurate results on the third day of examination. It is essential to pay attention to adequate rest in daily life.
