Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis, and the check said it's aseptic, but it always reappears with symptoms like difficulty urinating and a lingering sense of incomplete emptying. After taking medication for several months, there's been no improvement, and it's only accompanied by pain. It's making it impossible for me to take naps every day. Can the prostate be completely removed?Doctor's answer:
The prostate can be completely removed, but simply having the prostate does not require its removal because removal is a traumatic procedure that can significantly interfere with the quality of life after surgery. Currently, simple prostatitis does not yet meet the criteria for surgical removal. For the pain caused by prostatitis, one can also consider using suppositories or painkillers in combination. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
