What tests should be done for prostatitis? What are the common symptoms and classification of prostatitis

Prostatitis is a common disease in men. Many male friends found from their own symptoms that they suspected they had prostatitis, but they did not know what kind of examination to do for diagnosis. Experts pointed out that scientific examination is very important for the treatment of prostatitis. On the contrary, if the examination is not timely or the method is wrong, it is quite unfavorable for the later treatment. So what should be done for prostatitis? Let's see the introduction of experts:

1. Urodynamic examination

The main manifestations include decreased urinary flow rate, incomplete relaxation of bladder neck-urethral sphincter muscle, and abnormal increase of maximum urethral closure pressure.

2. Digital rectal examination

If the prostate is plump, enlarged, soft, and has mild tenderness for a long time, the prostate will become smaller, harder, uneven in texture, and have small induration. At the same time, prostate fluid was obtained by prostate massage, and routine examination was performed.

3. Prostate fluid examination

There are more than 10 white blood cells in the prostatic fluid in the high power field of the microscope, and the lecithin body is reduced, which can be diagnosed as prostatitis. At the same time, bacterial culture can clearly diagnose and classify chronic prostatitis. When the bacterial culture result of prostatitis fluid is positive, the diagnosis of chronic bacterial prostatitis is contrary to that of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis.

4. Ultrasonic examination

It indicates that the boundary of prostate tissue structure is unclear and disordered, which may indicate prostatitis.
