Patient's question:
My husband suffers from prostatitis, and now he basically has to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up every month. What kind of tests should be done for prostatitis at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment of prostatitis, regular follow-up tests are also required. When conducting the examination, the main focus is on a detailed examination of the prostatic fluid. Through the examination, it is determined whether there is an infection of inflammation, and the nature of the prostatitis is inferred. Then, based on the examination results, medication is prescribed to provide symptomatic treatment. If a bacterial infection occurs and a course of antibiotics does not lead to significant stability, it is necessary to promptly adjust the medication based on the situation.
