Patient's question:
With a long history of masturbation, I have abstained for three months. Currently, I experience a heavy, distended sensation in the lower abdomen and perineum, occasional lower back pain and discomfort, short erection duration, and the erection quickly becomes soft without stimulation. I have premature ejaculation.Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment can be used for recurrent chronic bacterial prostatitis. Prostatectomy can achieve the goal of cure, but it should be used with caution. Since prostatitis usually involves the peripheral zone of the gland, transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is difficult to achieve the goal of treatment. TURP can remove calculi 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.
