Patient's question:
Prostatic abscess, approximately 40x30x28mm in size, with clear margins and regular shape. The ratio of internal and external lines is normal. The capsule appears rough and lacks smoothness. The echo within the gland is uneven, and there are no significant abnormalities in blood flow.Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment for prostatic abscess mainly involves two methods: transrectal prostatic drainage and transperineal prostatic drainage. Among these, transrectal prostatic drainage is suitable for abscesses around the posterior lobe of the prostate. The advantage of this method is that it is located under the rectal mucosa, making the procedure convenient. The pus drains out through the anus. Local heat therapy can be applied to the prostatic abscess, using simple and commonly used methods such as paraffin therapy or placing a hot water bag on the lower abdomen and perineum for heat application. This helps improve local blood circulation, promote the confinement of the abscess, and resolve inflammation. However, it is important to prevent burns.
