How to diagnose prostatitis?
UWorld says don't do prostatic massage, only collect midstream urine, as massaging can cause bacteremia... MTB says to do massage to obtain sample...
The question in uworld asks whats the next best step:
a)midstream urine for lab or
b)prostate massage and labs... The answer was 'a', but according to MTB, it's massage & lab....
DO massage in chronic cases..
DONOT massage in acute cases..
thats my understanding from mtb, UWorld, and Kaplan Qbank.
