Patient's question:
I experienced lower abdominal and perineal distension and discomfort a year ago due to unclear causes, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The symptoms varied in severity. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Treatment involved intravenous drips of various antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine. What are the treatment methods for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment can be used to address recurrent chronic bacterial prostatitis. Since prostatitis typically affects the peripheral zone of the prostate, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may be difficult to achieve the treatment goals. TURP can remove prostate stones and bacterial infection foci near the prostatic ducts, which is beneficial in reducing reinfection of the peripheral zone lesions. Chronic bacterial prostatitis can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections and infertility. For patients with prostatitis, timely treatment can help reduce the incidence of the disease. In daily life, it is important to avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
