Can a urinalysis detect prostatitis?

Patient's question:

Now I'm not that old, but my sex life is getting worse and worse. I always doubt that there are many problems with my prostate again. Can a routine urine test detect prostatitis?

Doctor's answer:

When checking a routine urine test, it's not possible to thoroughly examine whether prostatitis may recur, because prostatitis cannot be detected through a routine urine test. First, there needs to be a check, such as a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate and prostatic fluid. It is generally characterized by a feeling of incomplete urination. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken orally. If you want to check for prostatitis, you can go to the hospital to have a color Doppler ultrasound of the prostate performed.
