Many men find themselves urinating frequently in their daily lives, thinking they have prostatitis, and then go to the hospital for examination. Due to the specific location of the prostate gland, diagnosis is also relatively cumbersome, and many people have some misunderstandings when diagnosing prostatitis.
Next, let's learn about the misconceptions in diagnosing prostatitis. We must avoid these misconceptions.
Myth 1: Genital inflammation is all prostatitis. Acute prostatitis usually occurs when you are tired, catch a cold, ride a bike for a long time, drink too much, have excessive sexual activity, suffer injury, or have weakened resistance throughout the body or part of the body. It manifests as symptoms such as high fever, frequent urination, urgency in urination, and pain in urination; Chronic prostatitis occurs repeatedly, with mild symptoms, and some may be asymptomatic at all.
Therefore, this is a typical misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Patients are actually infected with Candida albicans, commonly referred to as fungal infections, which are often caused by decreased resistance or the abuse of antibiotics. Inappropriate antimicrobial treatment will inevitably lead to increased infection.
Mistake 2: Collecting prostate fluid from the anus is the main three steps for a professional hospital to diagnose prostatitis. First, the doctor carefully asks the patient about the specific symptoms, then checks the prostate fluid, and finally tests the urine routine. The doctor will determine whether it is prostatitis based on the two test results.
The correct method for collecting prostate fluid is to perform a digital rectal examination, gently press the prostate from the rectum, and then receive and collect prostate fluid using a sterilized slide with the urethral orifice fully exposed. Therefore, the diagnosis of prostatitis as in this case cannot be accurate.
Misunderstanding 3: Bacterial culture of prostate fluid can lead to many misdiagnosis cases. "When taking prostate fluid, it flows out of the prostate through the urethra. As long as there are bacteria in this process, they will be cultured.". But many of these are urinary tract resident bacteria, not pathogenic bacteria. As a result of bacterial culture of prostate fluid, many of them were found to be gram positive bacteria. Most researchers believe that gram-positive bacteria rarely cause bacterial prostatitis.
The judgment of prostatitis is very important. Nowadays, many men have a large number of patients with prostatitis due to various reasons, which brings great psychological pressure and impact to men. People are not sure how to know if they have prostatitis. Today, the editor will share with you how to judge whether they have prostatitis or not? I hope it can be helpful to you.
(1) Pain. Whether there is a burning sensation or ant sensation in the posterior urethra, and whether the pain in the perineum and anus radiates to the lumbosacral region, inguinal region, suprapubic region, penis, testicles, etc., occasionally radiating to the abdomen.
(2) Urological symptoms. "Due to inflammation that can affect the urethra, do patients experience mild frequent urination, urgency, or pain in urination? Individual patients may also experience terminal hematuria. Mucus or purulent secretion may be discharged from the urethral orifice before early urination or during defecation in the morning.".
(3) Sexual dysfunction. Whether there are symptoms such as decreased libido, difficulty erecting, etc.
(4) Neuroasthenic symptoms. Whether the mood is blue, general fatigue, insomnia at night, etc.
(5) Secondary symptoms. Whether there are diseases such as conjunctivitis, iritis, arthritis, neuritis, etc.
How to determine whether you have prostatitis? I have already made an introduction for everyone. If you have any of the above symptoms, please go to a regular hospital for examination in a timely manner to prevent the aggravation of prostatitis. Men with prostatitis should treat their condition correctly and bravely receive treatment. I wish prostate patients an early recovery.
