Hi, Im 37 yo male and My GP believes I have non-bacterial prostatitis. He has reffered me to urologist and I was told He will need to collect fluid from my prostate for examination to ensure that bacteria is not present. I was embaressed to ask how exactly it is done but now I am reluctant to go for the visit as Im afraid of surprises that may come up as complicated and unpleasant test. Would you kindly explain how this test is performed? Thanks!
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Your doctor is talking about extraction of prostatic fluid and then its examination.... You want to know procedure ... Let me know you it is some kind that of digital rectal examination.... In this procedure you will give lean forward proper position .... Then doctor will wear gloves and lubricate index finger with lubricant and will advance ginger through your anus up to prostate. Then massage done from periphery to midline of prostate .... Then emitted prostatic fluid collected from urethra .... Hope I have explained you procedure better. Take care
