Patient's question:
Usually, the frequency of cohabitation is slightly high, and I'm worried about getting prostate disease. Can a urine test detect prostate problems?Doctor's answer:
A routine urine examination cannot detect prostatitis, but if it is bacterial prostatitis, it can be identified. A thorough examination of prostatic fluid, combined with medical history and symptoms, should be conducted for a comprehensive analysis to diagnose it. It is also recommended to perform an ultrasound to understand the internal condition of the testicles. Prostatitis can also be detected through digital rectal examination, urine sediment examination, bacteriological examination, etc. A positive bacterial culture of prostatic fluid can confirm the diagnosis.
