Patient's question:
Many of my close friends have prostatitis. Their lifestyles and dietary habits are very similar to mine, so I think I might also have prostatitis. How can I carefully check for prostatitis? If I have prostatitis, what methods should I use to address it?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis of prostatitis requires evidence based on the patient's clinical manifestations and auxiliary examinations, including digital rectal examination of the prostate, examination of prostatic fluid, routine urine tests, and urine sediment tests, or culturing relevant bacteria. If there is indeed bacterial infection, a definitive diagnosis can be confirmed. The choice of anti-inflammatory medication should be determined based on the patient's history of drug allergies, which helps in the complete recovery of the disease.
