Pain or discomfort in the perineum and lower back area
Symptoms that require a
urologist consultation
A doctor's consultation is required if the following symptoms appear:
Frequent urination, especially at night
Weak urine stream, difficulty urinating
Pain or discomfort after emptying the bladder
Diagnosis of prostatitis
During the initial consultation, the urologist communicates with the patient and learns the symptoms of the disease, studies the medical history and conducts a physical examination.
To determine the diagnosis, the doctor may prescribe:
- Ultrasound of the prostate gland;
- Doppler ultrasound of the vessels;
- laboratory tests of blood, scraping from the urethra and prostate secretion.
This allows you to find out the cause, determine the form of the disease and develop an individual treatment plan for the patient.
Patients after 50-60 years are also prescribed a blood test for tumor markers characteristic of the development of prostate cancer. Its symptoms are similar to the manifestations of prostatitis, so when diagnosing it is important to consider the possibility of this diagnosis.
