Patient's question:
Questioning what tests should be done to diagnose prostatitis? Can prostatitis be detected by ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from prostatitis, a thorough examination of prostatic fluid can be conducted through laboratory tests. An increase in white blood cells and a rise in lecithin corpuscles in the prostatic fluid are common indicators of prostatitis. A simple ultrasound examination generally does not reveal significant issues, but if there is prostatic hyperplasia or enlargement, it can be observed through ultrasound. If you have prostatitis, you can take medications specifically for treating prostatitis. It is also important to rest more, avoid overexertion, and refrain from consuming spicy foods like chili peppers.
