Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I have chronic prostatitis, and my libido is very weak. I also experience frequent urination and urgency. The doctor recommended an electroresection surgery. Is electroresection surgery effective for chronic prostatitis? What are the risks of this surgery?Doctor's answer:
Chronic prostatitis is caused by inflammatory infections and is also related to various factors such as lifestyle and diet. Clinical diagnosis mainly manifests as symptoms like frequent urination, urgency, dysuria, difficulty urinating, and reduced sexual function. Using anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Pulegan tablets and Qianmao Shu capsules, can alleviate symptoms, but they are prone to recurring, making it difficult to cure. If the condition interferes with normal life, work, and sexual activity, and conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be considered. Transurethral resection is minimally invasive, requires less skin incision, and is effective in treating chronic prostatitis with minimal risk. For patients, if the prostatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated.
