Patient's question:
I found that I have acute and chronic prostatitis. Yesterday, I received a treatment with intravenous azithromycin and underwent a spiral thermomagnetic ablation procedure. I found this information online, but the cost is too high—1500 yuan per session. Now that I don't have any urinary pain or discharge, is it still necessary to proceed? I was treated at a public tertiary hospital.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the causes of prostatitis are complex, especially chronic prostatitis has varying symptoms, hidden causes, and is difficult to diagnose. Moreover, medication often struggles to reach the affected area. If the prostate is not treated promptly and properly, it is prone to recurring, failing to heal, potentially leading to other complications or affecting sexual function, and even causing infertility. It is recommended that you visit a hospital for a thorough examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
