Patient's question:
I am a working professional and plan to have a thorough examination of the prostate because I have some concerns about health issues and have been experiencing a vague fear of death. I just don't know what kind of examination to do. Hello, doctor, can a routine urinalysis detect the prostate?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a simple urinalysis cannot determine if there is a contagious prostatitis. Prostatitis usually causes urinary abnormalities, reduced sexual function, and abnormal secretions. You need to go to the hospital for a prostate ultrasound and a prostatic fluid test to diagnose whether the symptoms are caused by prostatitis. Wishing you a speedy recovery and overcoming the disease as soon as possible.
