Patient's question:
I've been feeling pain while urinating and my urine is yellow for a while. Besides frequent urination, I suspect I might have a prostate-related condition. What are the detailed examination methods for prostatitis? Is it through urine tests, blood tests, or ultrasound? How long does it take to get the examination results?Doctor's answer:
During urination, if there is pain accompanied by yellow urine, it is indeed worth considering that the underlying cause could be chronic prostatitis. At the same time, it is not ruled out that many cases of urethritis might be related to prolonged sitting or lack of attention to hygiene. It is best to go to the hospital for a urinalysis and ultrasound examination. The results can usually be available quickly, often the same day. In terms of treatment, oral anti-inflammatory medications can be considered. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medication. Additionally, you can also steep some Dendrobium candidum (Jīnyīncǎo) to drink.
