Patient's question:
Sometimes urination is not smooth, there is a split in the urine, a bit weak, I used to have balanitis, the sides of the glans now look a bit blue.Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment can be used for recurrent chronic bacterial prostatitis. Prostatectomy can achieve the goal of cure, but should be used with caution. Since prostatitis usually affects the peripheral zone of the gland, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is difficult to achieve the goal of treatment. TURP can remove stones in the prostate and bacterial infection foci near the prostatic ducts, which is beneficial for reducing reinfection of the peripheral zone lesions. Chronic bacterial prostatitis can lead to recurrent urinary tract infections and infertility.
