Patient's question:
How much does a prostatitis check cost?Doctor's answer:
The physician will carefully inquire about the condition, including whether there is urgency to urinate and an increase in nighttime urination frequency, as well as whether there are symptoms of urinary difficulties such as hesitancy, weak urine flow, thin urine stream, segmented urination, short urination duration, or post-urination dripping. The physician will generally perform a digital rectal examination to palpate the prostate through the rectum, which can help determine the size, texture, presence of nodules, and any pain in the prostate. Additionally, the tension of the anal sphincter can be indirectly assessed to understand the function of the urethral sphincter. If hard nodules are felt on the surface of the prostate, prostate cancer should be considered, and blood PSA (which tends to rise in prostate cancer) should be checked. If necessary, a prostate needle biopsy may be performed for a definitive diagnosis.
