Prostatitis, incomplete urination, and delayed urination require surgery?

Patient's question:

Prostatitis, difficulty urinating, delayed urination, urine splitting, short distance of urination, how effective is surgery, very painful when unable to urinate

Doctor's answer:

Prostatitis generally does not require surgery. Surgery is only considered when benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) compresses the urethra, leading to urinary retention. Currently, the majority of cases undergo transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The indications are strict: it is only suitable for patients who have failed conservative treatment and are over 60 years old. For specific conditions, it is recommended to consult with local healthcare professionals for a better understanding.
For patients, if the prostatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to recurrent prostatitis. Additionally, patients should maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. It is hoped that the answers provided above will be helpful.
