Is prostatitis serious?

Patient's question:

Male, 30 years old, divorced for less than a year, recently experiencing vague pain near the right testicle. Went to the hospital for a thorough examination, including an ultrasound. The bladder was well-filled with no abnormal echoes observed. The prostate size was approximately 3.62.71.8 cm, with normal morphology and slightly increased, uneven. The bilateral testicles and epididymides showed uniform size and shape, with relatively uniform echoes. The of the prostate was uneven. A urine test revealed WBC 3-5/HP, and the doctor said there were no issues with the urine. The prostatic fluid examination showed a volume of 0.1 ml, with 30% phospholipid bodies, WBC 15-20/HP, PBC 3-5/HP, ++, and granulocytes/HP. No amyloid bodies were observed. The doctor said the prostate was inflamed and recommended intravenous injections, medication, and physical therapy. Treatment costs between 5,000 to 6,000.

Doctor's answer:

In addition to the common symptoms of prostatitis such as frequent urination and urgent urination, there are also changes in urination such as incomplete emptying, dribbling, hesitation to urinate, weak and thin urine flow, urine splitting, hematuria, pyuria, urethral itching, burning pain, and white discharge in urine. It is recommended to go to a formal specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Take medication under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, eat more vegetables and fruits, get adequate rest, engage in appropriate outdoor activities, and maintain a positive mindset. Avoid cold, spicy, and irritating foods. I hope the answers above can help everyone. Thank you.
