Patient's question:
29-year-old male knows he has discomfort in his body, so he hasn't used it to see a doctor. Please ask: What are the treatments for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment: For severe benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is generally performed. This surgery is highly complex and can only be conducted in well-equipped large hospitals. In addition to hospitals using open surgery to remove the prostate, good therapeutic effects are also achieved. However, surgical treatment carries risks and potential complications, so it should be performed with caution.Medication treatment: Prostatitis can be treated with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation, and fight infection. For benign prostatic hyperplasia, 5α-reductase inhibitors and α1-adrenergic receptor antagonists are commonly used. These medications can alleviate symptoms in patients.
