What are the precautions to be aware of when checking prostatic fluid?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing severe pain while urinating recently, and sometimes I feel like I can't urinate at all. I need to stand there and wait for a while before I can finally urinate. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said that I might have prostatitis, but it couldn't be confirmed completely. They suggested I get a prostatic fluid test. I would like to consult about what precautions I should take before getting a prostatic fluid test.

Doctor's answer:

Before undergoing a prostate fluid examination, sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one week. Sexual intercourse is also forbidden. In your case, pay attention to personal hygiene and the first half of sexual activity. Change your underwear frequently and take baths often. Maintain a light diet, avoid overly greasy and spicy foods, smoking, and drinking beer. This will help in the complete recovery of your condition and increase the likelihood of success. Also, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching colds or overexerting yourself.
