Patient's question:
Please ask all the doctors! The symptoms of ordinary prostatitis and viral prostatitis and the differences between them~ The more detailed, the better, thank you!Doctor's answer:
The clinical manifestations of bacterial and non-bacterial chronic prostatitis are basically the same. To diagnose whether it is bacterial or non-bacterial, the main method is to culture the prostatic fluid. Bacterial prostatitis is often accompanied by urinary tract infections, with positive bacterial culture results in prostatic fluid and an excessive amount of inflammatory bacteria in the fluid. Non-bacterial prostatitis or prostatodynia rarely causes urinary tract infections. In patients with non-bacterial prostatitis, there are a large number of inflammatory cells in the prostatic fluid, but no bacteria, including mycoplasma and chlamydia, are detected through bacterial culture tests.
