Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult. Recently, I've been experiencing severe lower abdominal pain when urinating, and I also have frequent urination at night. Is it possible that I have prostatitis with symptoms like urinary frequency, urgency, incomplete urination, and painful urination? So, I would like to ask about the examination methods for male prostatitis.Doctor's answer:
The careful examination methods for prostatitis are mainly through ultrasound, in addition to prostatic fluid, these are the two main ways. However, relatively speaking, routine prostatic fluid examination is more accurate because if it is a mild prostatitis that has not yet caused any changes in the prostate, ultrasound may not be able to detect it. Therefore, I recommend checking the prostatic fluid at a hospital, and this should be done at a public hospital.
