Patient's question:
1. How can bacterial and non-bacterial prostatitis be distinguished?2. I had a prostate fluid test at the hospital, and it seems to have only two indicators: one is white blood cells at 100, and the other is lecithin (I'm not very sure) at 30%. Can this determine if it's bacterial prostatitis?
3. What are the differences in medications for the two types of prostatitis? If it's bacterial, how should it be treated? First question supplement: Thank you for your attention. However, I have many questions, and doctors are not very willing to explain them clearly, and I have some doubts about what they say. That's why I came here to seek expert help.
Doctor's answer:
It is prostatitis. The treatment cost is hard to say, as many places have quite high treatment expenses now. However, based on my experience, such treatments are unlikely to yield significant results for chronic prostatitis. I recommend traditional Chinese medicine treatment. I believe most people know that prostatitis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoiding stimulating foods and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
