Patient's question:
A friend got prostatitis. They visited two hospitals. One said it was non-bacterial prostatitis, while the other said it was bacterial prostatitis. In the end, it was confirmed to be non-bacterial prostatitis. Because the hospital prescribed a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs, and the price was very high. It cost about 700-800 yuan every half month.Doctor's answer:
Clinical diagnosis doctors classify cases like chronic prostatitis with symptoms such as leukocyte in prostatic fluid, but with no bacteria found in smears or cultures, and no bacteria detected in urine tests, as aseptic prostatitis. However, since the bloodstream causes of chronic prostatitis can include various pathogens such as trichomonas, fungi, chlamydia, mycoplasma, as well as special factors like allergies, it is often necessary to rule out these causes and factors before confirming aseptic prostatitis.When patients face the impact of prostatitis, we should actively implement thorough examinations and treatments, without avoiding medical consultation. If prostatitis does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
