Patient's question:
My husband has been experiencing some discomfort in the prostate area during urination, and it has been a bit red. He has been frequently visiting the hospital for ultrasound and blood tests to confirm it is indeed the prostate. He has been prescribed medication and undergoing intravenous drip treatment. Can prostatitis be detected through ultrasound? Recently, he has been feeling some redness in the prostate area during urination, accompanied by lower back pain. He underwent ultrasound and blood tests, which confirmed it was the prostate. He was then prescribed medication and started intravenous drip treatment.Doctor's answer:
Prostatitis can be examined with ultrasound. In clinical diagnosis, ultrasound is a necessary step for examining prostate diseases. The doctor's use of ultrasound examination is highly meaningful for the diagnosis of prostate diseases. Prostate ultrasound examination is more accurate than CT in determining the location, size, shape, and extent of intraprostatic invasion, which can better help doctors confirm the staging and treatment of prostate cancer.
