Patient's question:
I am 35 years old this year. In the past two months, I have been experiencing frequent urination and urgency again. A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was caused by prostatitis. He recommended surgery as soon as possible to avoid affecting future life. I would like to understand whether surgery can help men with prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
The prostate is an accessory gland of the male reproductive system, and the prostatic fluid it secretes is one of the main components of semen. Prostatitis is a relatively common disease of the male reproductive system, and surgical treatment is generally not recommended. After prostate surgery, there is a possibility of affecting the normal sexual function of men, leading to erectile dysfunction, and it may also affect perineal function. However, if the patient does not have sexual dysfunction, surgical treatment can be used.
