Whether prostatitis patients need surgical treatment depends on the patient's actual situation. Drug therapy is still the top priority. Traditional Chinese medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a good choice.

1. Selecting Surgical
Options for
Prostatitis: A
Right Option?
Wuhan Dr.Lee’s TCM Clinic

2. Prostatitis is a common male disease that
causes much pain for men because it is difficult
to cure and is prone to recurrence. Although
there are many treatments for prostatitis, the
chances of recurrence after cure are pretty high.

3. Some patients with chronic
prostatitis can't stand the
torture of the disease and
want to cure it completely, so
surgery to remove the
prostate can be said to be a
once-and-for-all method, in
their opinion.

4. Surgery generally consists of the
following two forms:

5. Transurethral prostatectomy
Men with chronic bacterial prostatitis
that does not respond to long-term
antibiotic treatment and who have
frequent recurrent urinary tract
infections may need surgery to remove
part of the prostate. Men with infected
prostate stones may consider surgery
to remove the stones.

6. The surgery to deal with all of these
conditions is called a transurethral
resection of the prostate (TURP). When
TURP is performed, the surgeon uses a
long, thin tube called a cystoscope to
remove part of the prostate through the
urethra. The procedure is performed
under general or regional anesthesia
and should take less than 90 minutes.

7. Laparoscopic prostatectomy
Another approach used in cases of
chronic nonbacterial prostatitis is
Laparoscopic prostatectomy.
Laparoscopic surgery has some benefits
over a traditional radical prostatectomy
but involves a larger incision and can
have a long recovery period.

8. Half of men may suffer from urinary
incontinence after the procedure, with
older men more likely to be affected
than younger men. More serious risks
include blood clots, heart attacks,
strokes, and infections.

9. So, can you
have surgery
for prostatitis?

10. If prostatitis has gotten more severe, and severe
chronic prostatitis has not been treated over the
years with any other therapies that have been
effective, the patient may want to consider
prostatitis surgery. There are a number of different
surgical options for prostatitis, but they are usually
the last resort for treating chronic prostatitis.
Surgery for prostatitis is usually only performed
after all other treatments have failed, meaning
that it is a last resort.

11. If acute prostatitis has caused prostate hyperplasia
and prostate enlargement, causing the patient to
have difficulty urinating, then surgery can be
considered as a treatment. This is because surgery
can effectively improve prostate enlargement and
hyperplasia, thus effectively relieving the
symptoms of difficult urination.
We can summarize the surgical treatment of prostatitis by saying
that there are more cons than pros.

12. The disadvantages of
surgical treatment of
prostatitis are even
more pronounced

13. 1.The vast majority of patients with chronic
prostatitis are also able to achieve relatively
satisfactory results after a long period of
effective non-surgical treatment.
Surgical treatment may also have
severe consequences for patients,
such as partial or complete loss of
sexual and reproductive function.

14. 2.Due to long-term
inflammation, the
prostate and surrounding
tissues are prone to
adhesion. In this case, it is
easy to bleed during
surgery, and the prostate
cannot be removed easily.
In addition, it is easy to
damage the
neighboring tissues and
organs during the
surgery and cause
complications. Therefore,
surgery for chronic
prostatitis is
complicated.

15. 3.Surgical treatment of the prostate
also requires a certain amount of
equipment and technical skills.
Importantly, surgery does not solve
the problem in all patients, and
clinical symptoms persist in many
surgically treated patients.

16. In conclusion, surgery is not always the best
treatment option for prostatitis. Prostatitis
often stems from problems elsewhere in the
body rather than the prostate itself. Given
this, a whole-body approach using a
number of different treatments is usually the
most successful in treating prostatitis.

17. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has accumulated
thousands of years of history of treatments and
experience in toning the whole body for patients with
prostatitis. Prostatitis patients can take natural
medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill.
It has the function of anti-inflammatory and
bactericidal, which can kill all kinds of
bacteria and viruses and improve the
immunity of patients to achieve the purpose
of treating prostatitis.
