Patient's question:
I've been experiencing pain in my urethra when urinating for a while now, and my urethral opening is a bit red and swollen. My urine is also a bit red. Recently, I've often felt a lack of appetite, and I've been needing to urinate all night. What methods can be used to treat prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Transurethral resection of the prostate with electrovaporization is currently a common method for treating prostatitis. Compared to traditional surgery, it offers advantages such as minimal psychological trauma, less pain, rapid recovery, and shorter hospital stays. It is also suitable for elderly or frail patients, as well as those with comorbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or coronary heart disease. Prostatitis can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, active cooperation with the doctor's medication plan is essential during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
