Patient's question:
What are the aftereffects after a man's prostate is removed? My prostatitis recurs repeatedly, and I want to have surgery to remove it.Doctor's answer:
If there are no special circumstances, it is still better not to have surgery to remove it. If it is completely removed, it may cause pressure, resulting in a large incision. Additionally, during and after the surgery, a urinary catheter will need to be inserted, which can be very painful and may interfere with fertility. Besides, if it is removed due to infection, it would be too costly for the patient. For patients with severe prostatic conditions, immediate symptomatic treatment should be provided, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the prostatic condition. Additionally, patients also need to have a proper diet.
