Is it painful to have a catheterization surgery for the treatment of prostatitis and urinary tract infections?

Patient's question:

My prostatitis and urinary tract infection currently, except for the stinging sensation, taking medication helps a bit, and its when I don't take medication. Mainly, it stings when I urinate. The hospital conducted a thorough examination and said that surgery and catheter insertion are needed. The idea of catheter insertion and surgery scared me, so I didn't dare to look. It has become more severe now. How is it that I still need to undergo catheter insertion and surgery? Is it painful to have a catheter inserted and undergo surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Your inflammation is now relieved, and you must go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Under the guidance of a doctor, you should focus on targeted treatment. For intubation and surgery, anesthesia is generally required, and you will not feel significant pain. It is recommended that you consult with a local doctor and receive appropriate, targeted treatment under their guidance. At the same time, pay attention to drinking more water. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet.
