Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Prostate symptoms.
Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing
your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information
you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis.
Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:
- How long have you had prostate symptoms? - to determine if acute or chronic.
- What prostate symptoms do you have? - e.g. urinary frequency, post stream dribbling, difficulty in starting to urinate, nocturia (woken by the urge to urinate at night), pain with urination, blood in the urine, incontinence of urine, inability to urinate, painful ejaculation, back pain.
- Are you in a monogamous relationship?
- If you are not in a monogamous relationship, do you always practice safe sex? - to help determine risk of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Past surgical history? - surgery to organs such as prostate, bladder or colon may damage nerves that interrupt the connection between the nervous system and the penis and cause erectile dysfunction.
