Patient's question:
I was originally treated in the hospital. The doctor gave me a general examination and only checked the prostatic fluid, saying I had chronic prostatitis. But later, I felt that my symptoms were very similar to those of a urinary tract infection. I don't know which one it is. Which department should I check at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Hello, prostatitis is usually characterized by recurrent visits due to pain in the perineum, lumbosacral region, and groin area. Common symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, urine splitting, white discharge during urination, difficulty urinating, nocturia, and may also include recurrent painful ejaculation, hematospermia, or systemic symptoms. In addition to clinical diagnostic symptoms, laboratory tests are required for accurate diagnosis, such as prostatic fluid examination, transrectal ultrasound, and urinalysis. Additionally, it is recommended to drink more water, abstain from sexual activity, and enhance physical fitness. Wishing you good health!
