Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is critical to ensuring effective treatment for prostatitis. Therefore, before laying out a treatment plan for you, the doctor will perform a thorough diagnosis to determine the severity of the condition and rule out other complications that might cause hindrances in the treatment. Some standard diagnostic tests performed before prostatitis treatment include:
Physical examination: During the initial physical examination, the doctor will ask you questions about the symptoms you’re experiencing, your medical history, and so on. They may also ask you about your lifestyle habits and the medicines you’re taking. Make sure you answer all the questions correctly.
Digital rectal examination: In this test, the doctor will insert a gloved and lubricated finger into your rectum to assess your prostate gland. They will look for swelling or pain in the area through this examination. They may also massage the prostate to collect seminal fluid for further assessment.
Urinalysis: This test involves urine culture and urinalysis to look for bacteria and urinary tract infections.
Blood tests: A blood test is performed to check the levels of Prostate-specific antigen or PSA, which is a protein made by the prostate gland. High levels of PSA may hint at prostatitis, BPH, or even prostate cancer.
Transrectal ultrasound: Men diagnosed with acute bacterial prostatitis or chronic prostatitis that doesn’t respond to antibiotics might be asked to undergo a transrectal ultrasound. During this exam, a thin ultrasound probe is inserted into the rectum. It uses sound waves to produce images of the prostate gland, and allows doctors to look for abnormalities in the prostate gland, stones, or abscesses.
Cystoscopy: In this test, the doctors use a cystoscope, i.e., a pencil-sized tube with a camera or viewing lens, to get a clear view of the bladder and urethra. This test may not help in the diagnosis of prostatitis but may help rule out other urinary tract conditions.
Conservative Treatment
After performing a thorough diagnosis and assessing the findings, the doctor will suggest the best treatment plan for you. This may include treatment through conservative or non-conservative methods. Also, there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment for prostatitis- it varies based on the type of prostatitis, the severity of the condition, and so on. Some common treatments for prostatitis are as follows:
Non-Conservative/Surgical Treatment
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
In general, prostatitis does not require surgery and can be managed through conservative methods. However, in rare cases, a surgery called Transurethral Resection of the Prostate or TURP may be suggested. In this surgery, a section of the prostate is cut, which helps in relieving the symptoms.
This surgery is only suggested for older men, as it may cause retrograde ejaculation and may lead to sterility, incontinence, and impotence.
