A member asked:
How accurate is a urine test for prostatitis? what other tests are needed to identify infection or inflammation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prostatitis: Urine does not, in any way, diagnose a prostate infection. Prostatitis is usually diagnosed through direct examination combined with the specific symptoms and history. Urine is used to rule out or rule in a bladder infection.
