Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen. My friend said it might be prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the doctor said I needed to have a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate.Hello doctor, can a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate detect prostatitis? Are there other methods to diagnose prostatitis?
Doctor's answer:
If a thorough prostate ultrasound examination shows prostate enlargement, prostatitis can be considered. Additionally, I personally recommend conducting a detailed examination of prostatic fluid. Please consult your attending physician based on the examination results and seek medical advice. If a patient has prostatitis, they are more likely to experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, urine splitting, and incomplete urination. Currently, only based on the symptom of abdominal pain, it is not possible to diagnose.
