Patient's question:
I have frequent urination and urgency. I had a urine test, and the doctor diagnosed acute urinary tract infection. At the same time, I had a semen test, and the doctor said it was accompanied by prostatitis. Can the semen test be used to diagnose prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
A semen test cannot diagnose how one contracts prostatitis. To diagnose prostate diseases, a prostatic fluid test and careful ultrasound examination should be conducted. Symptoms of prostate diseases include frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, urine splitting, white discharge after urination, hesitation to urinate, incomplete urination, and a sensation of heaviness in the perineum, among others. It is recommended that you first determine how you acquired this condition before seeking treatment. In addition to promptly treating prostatitis, friends with the condition should maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity and the ability to combat the disease be strengthened. At the same time, it is important to pay close attention to dietary care, ensuring a balanced nutrition and timely digestion of nutrients, believing that this will surely eliminate prostatitis.
