Surgery is generally not recommended for curing prostatitis, as most patients can control their symptoms with proper treatment, and surgery is only suitable for a few special cases. It is advised to first undergo a professional examination to determine the type of prostatitis before choosing a personalized treatment plan.
1. Limited applicability of the surgery
The surgery is primarily for patients with serious physiological abnormalities, such as recurrent urinary tract infections, severe urinary obstruction, or complications like abscesses. These conditions account for a very small percentage of chronic prostatitis cases.
2. Most patients do not require surgery.
The vast majority of prostatitis cases are chronic nonbacterial inflammations, and symptoms can be effectively relieved through medication, lifestyle adjustments (such as avoiding prolonged sitting and maintaining a regular sleep schedule), and physical therapy.
3. The surgery carries potential risks.
The prostate region is rich in nerves and blood vessels, and surgery may affect urinary or sexual function, with a possibility of recurrence. Therefore, doctors will strictly assess the necessity of surgery.
It is recommended that you first visit the urology department of a reputable hospital for a prostate fluid examination and ultrasound assessment. If diagnosed with common chronic inflammation, you can follow your doctor's instructions for 3-6 months of standardized treatment and regular follow-up examinations. If there is a clear indication for surgery, you should fully discuss the follow-up plan and precautions with your doctor. In daily life, keeping warm and reducing spicy foods can help alleviate discomfort.
