Patient evaluations
- When I fell ill with prostatitis, I couldn't believe it happened to me. It started with frequent trips to the bathroom, then urinating became painful. I thought he might have contracted a venereal disease.
I was treated by three doctors, but the pills they prescribed didn't make things any easier. I happened to meet a specialist at the regional clinic, who put me on my feet. It turns out that the disease is simple, but the doctor's experience plays an important role.
If you have symptoms of prostatitis, you cannot delay a visit to the urologist. I hesitated for a long time, making up several excuses. Acute prostatitis became a chronic form in me, all because I was afraid of being tested. They are actually quite simple. The main role is played by bacterial culture, PCR for latent infections. You also need to pass a bacterial culture of urine and semen. Some doctors don't even refer patients for these tests. We must run away from them. Treatment here can be difficult and time consuming, but you can recover forever.
For prostatitis, I was offered high-frequency current treatment, but somehow I didn't trust them. I insisted that normal medications be prescribed. The examination revealed that there are minor pathological changes. Now, after a course of treatment, there are almost no symptoms.
