Patient's question:
I have been taking medication for treating prostatitis for about half a year. My chronic prostatitis has stabilized, though it hasn't improved the condition. I want to completely alleviate prostatitis. Can chronic prostatitis be surgically treated? How great are the risks of the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally, chronic prostatitis is often related to bacterial infections. Additionally, sterile prostatitis cannot be ruled out. In this case, treatment is primarily based on rigorous medication. Surgery is generally not recommended for treatment. If the prostatitis is caused by a bacterial infection, antibiotic treatment is used. For sterile prostatitis, it is generally advised to drink more water, eat more vegetables, and eat less spicy food.
