Is surgery effective for the prostate?

Patient's question:

Prostate has been frequent urination, urgency, incomplete urination, and now it has affected my life. Is surgical treatment for the prostate effective?

Doctor's answer:

If it is benign prostatic hyperplasia, then surgical treatment is effective. If you have frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete urination, it cannot be ruled out that there may still be prostatitis. If there is prostatitis, the treatment should still be based on symptomatic medication. You can consider doing a prostatic fluid test to see if there is a bacterial infection. If it is bacterial prostatitis, you can use antibiotics to treat it. The significance of surgical treatment for prostatitis is not great.
