Patient's question:
My husband is experiencing some difficulty urinating and is worried he might have prostatitis. What detailed tests are required for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Questioning prostatitis requires timely visits to a formal hospital's urology department for thorough examinations, such as digital rectal exams, prostatic fluid tests, color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system, blood tests, urine tests, cystoscopy, and other diagnostic measures to confirm the condition and provide appropriate treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid drinking beer, avoid spicy foods, avoid prolonged cycling, avoid long periods of sitting, and avoid intentionally withholding ejaculation to intentionally shorten sexual activity.
