Patient's question:
Male, 32. I have some prostatitis. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that there was also a condition of prostate calcification. Now the inflammation has been controlled, and there are no major issues, but I am very concerned about this prostate calcification problem. Please ask: What are the methods for treating 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 major 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 combat infection. For benign prostatic hyperplasia, 5α-reductase inhibitors and α1-adrenergic receptor antagonists are typically used. These medications can alleviate symptoms in patients.
