Chronic Prostatitis and Epididymitis — Diagnostic tools.

There are 2 main methods to diagnose the disease: (Both tests do not cover all possible diversity.)

1 Culture of prostate fluid and seminal fluid. (Not very common.) Urologists often avoid performing prostate fluid cultures; this is an unpleasant test that requires pressing on the prostate by inserting a finger into the anus, and pressing that hurts the patient and is displeasing to the doctor.

2 Blood and urine tests to identify different pathogenic antibodies.
The antibody in the blood does not necessarily indicate an active disease; the patient has been exposed to this pathogen, and his immune system "recognizes it."

It is essential to emphasize that these tests do not cover the full range of pathogens. A negative answer does not mean that the inflammation is psychosomatic! As urologists sometimes tend to argue. (Allegedly without suspicious findings)
