There is no such thing as the most standardized test for prostatitis. Because there are many kinds of prostate diseases, it is necessary to take different testing methods according to different symptoms of patients as well as the cause of the disease, such as physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging tests and so on.
1. Physical examination: Rectal examination is a common diagnostic modality in clinical practice, which can help identify perineal, rectal, neuropathy or other diseases of the prostate. But patients with acute prostatitis are not allowed to take fingerprints.
2. Laboratory tests: such as routine examination of prostate fluid, urine routine, bacteriological examination. The prostate fluid routine examination can directly understand the lecithin volume situation and white blood cell situation; urine routine can exclude the problem of urinary tract infection, assisting the diagnosis of prostatitis; cytology examination, through the bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test to clarify the diagnosis of prostatitis.
3. Imaging tests: ultrasound, for example, can promptly detect prostate echogenicity, prostate stones or calcification, periprostatic venous plexus dilatation, and so on, so as to further analyze.
Prostatitis patients, should go to the regular hospital in time, early detection of the problem, early treatment, and strive for early recovery.
