Patient's question:
How is prostatitis treated? Does it require surgery?Doctor's answer:
Many times, we are afraid of surgery, which is understandable. Just the thought of making a cut on the abdomen is terrifying. Do you need surgery to treat acute prostatitis? Do you have to endure a cut? This is something many patients with acute prostatitis urgently want to know. Generally, acute prostatitis does not necessarily require surgery. This is because the prostate is in a special location, and surgical treatment is not very effective, so surgical treatment is usually not chosen. Surgery is only used to solve the problem when acute prostatitis has developed to certain conditions, such as when it has progressed to the point of forming a prostate abscess, which may require drainage surgery through the rectum or perineum. Therefore, patients should seek early detection and early treatment.
