Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 46 years old this year, and my health has always been good. Recently, I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain and aching waist with weakness. I suspect it might be a problem with the prostate. Should I go to the hospital for an examination in this condition? I hope the doctor can give me good advice and help me solve this puzzle. Thank you very much.Doctor's answer:
Firstly, there is doubt about prostatitis. Clinically, diagnosis is based on symptoms and some relevant tests. If the diagnosis is accompanied by lower abdominal pain or urinary irritation, tests such as a color Doppler ultrasound of the urinary system and bacterial culture of prostatic fluid can be performed. Prostatitis is clinically considered a difficult disease to treat, with a long treatment duration and a high tendency to recur.
