Non-bacterial prostatitis is a chronic, non-bacterial infectious disease of the prostate. Routine tests include rectal fingerprinting, routine urinalysis, urine sediment, routine prostate fluid, prostate-specific antigen, and imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT, and MRI.
1. Rectal fingerprinting: you can touch to know the size of the prostate, texture, the presence of nodules and tenderness, etc. You can also massage the prostate to obtain prostate fluid.
2. Urine routine and urine sediment examination: can rule out urinary tract infection.
3. Prostate fluid routine examination: when there is prostatitis, the prostate fluid will increase the number of white blood cells and decrease the number of lecithin microsomes. Some patients with chronic prostatitis may also have elevated prostate-specific antigen.
4. Other: Ultrasound, CT, MRI and other imaging tests can show inflammatory changes in the prostate and surrounding tissues.
If you are diagnosed with non-bacterial prostatitis, you should seek prompt medical attention and active treatment to avoid delaying your condition.
