How is the diagnosis of prostatitis confirmed?

Patient's question:

Hello! I would like to inquire about something. The other day, I had an ultrasound examination which revealed prostatitis, and I also had a routine semen analysis. The semen test showed white blood cells: 8~12 HP, liquefaction time: 50 minutes, and sperm motility: 50%. Everything else was normal. Could these two test results be evidence of prostatitis? Are there other possible causes for these findings? If it is indeed the condition mentioned above, how should I treat it? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

I don't know what your test results are; chronic prostatitis is primarily characterized by frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, and a sense of heaviness or discomfort in the perineal area. It is basically impossible to completely cure it and eliminate any symptoms. If there is no significant discomfort or only mild discomfort that does not significantly affect your daily life, there is no need to worry about it.
What you said is too simple. I recommend consulting with a urologist at a local reputable hospital. It is crucial not to visit private clinics or so-called men's health hospitals to avoid delaying treatment.
