Patient's question:
Recently, I've been going to the toilet more frequently, and each time I don't seem to urinate much, but I always feel like I need to. I went to our county hospital for a check-up, and they found that I have prostatitis. However, the medication they prescribed didn't seem to work well. I want to see a doctor again. How much does it cost to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! In your case, it should be inferred whether the prostatitis is caused by a bacterial infection. I recommend conducting a thorough examination of the urine routine and prostatic fluid to determine this. If both tests show a significant increase in white blood cells, it indicates a bacterial infection. In this situation, you can take levofloxacin orally for about a week, with a cost of around 20 yuan. If it is non-bacterial prostatitis, you can consider taking tolterodine sustained-release tablets, and the treatment cost will be approximately 200 yuan.
