Patient's question:
I am currently experiencing occasional lower back pain. I previously had kidney issues, but they have already been treated. However, I am very concerned about having a viral prostatitis. I would like to ask if a blood test can detect this.Doctor's answer:
Based on what you have described, this type of prostatitis often recurs with symptoms of frequent urination and urgency. For viral prostatitis, blood tests can be used for diagnostic testing. It is recommended that you seek professional urological examination for prostatic fluid analysis, bacterial culture, and drug sensitivity testing. This will allow for targeted treatment. Daily attention to cleaning the perineum and sitz baths can help alleviate symptoms.
