The examination of chronic prostatitis is becoming more and more common, and a large portion of chronic prostatitis is caused by delayed treatment, causing pain to most patients. Therefore, the examination of chronic prostatitis is very important. When you urinate, you experience burning pain and symptoms such as urgency, frequency, dripping urine, and purulent urethral discharge. This means that you may have been affected by chronic prostatitis. You should go to the hospital for a chronic prostatitis examination in a timely manner. So, what does the examination for chronic prostatitis include?
There are five main methods for detecting chronic prostatitis:
1. Prostate digital examination: It is a routine examination for prostatitis. During finger examination, the prostate gland varies in size, with an irregular surface, some glands becoming hard or with small nodules, and most have mild tenderness.
2. Prostatic fluid examination: the negative result of one examination cannot easily exclude the disease; A positive result can generally make a diagnosis of chronic prostatitis.
3. Bacteriology examination: bacteriology examination is helpful for diagnosis and treatment. A positive result can be diagnosed as bacterial chronic prostatitis.
4. Ultrasound examination: Male urology examination found that in some patients with chronic prostatitis, the capsule reflection is not smooth due to local exudation, fibrosis, and adhesion, and in severe cases, the capsule boundary is unclear; The glandular morphology is regular, symmetrical from left to right, and limited reflexes can be seen inside. This examination is for clinical reference.
5. Prostate biopsy: It has decisive significance in the diagnosis of chronic prostatitis, but it is not significant in distinguishing between bacterial or non bacterial prostatitis. Because general methods can make a clear diagnosis, this method is not commonly used in clinical practice.
