Overview
Some other diagnostic tests like a biopsy can be utilised under certain circumstances to diagnose and differentiate prostatitis from other suspected pathologies in particular the carcinoma of the prostate.[1]
Prostatic Biopsy
A biopsy of the prostate is done when a suspicion of prostatic carcinoma is present specially in case of chronic prostatitis. The biopsy shows inflammatory changes only in case of prostatitis. The biopsy can be done under ultrasound or MRI guidance.[2]
