Chronic prostatitis is not an incurable disease; it is a common urological disorder. Chronic prostatitis is most commonly seen in young and middle-aged men, primarily due to bacterial invasion in the prostate gland, leading to inflammation and infection within the gland. Patients with chronic prostatitis should not be overly burdened mentally. It is advisable to actively visit the local hospital's urology or andrology department for systematic examination. Treatment should be based on the examination results, using sensitive antibiotics. Additionally, taking warm water sitz baths every night and regularly visiting the hospital for prostate massage therapy can be beneficial.

Can chronic prostatitis of twenty years be surgically removed?

Chronic prostatitis, which has lasted for twenty years, cannot be removed through surgery. Generally, prostatitis is treated with medication and surgery is not an option. Patients with chronic prostatitis can visit the urology or andrology department of their local hospital for a systematic examination and treatment. The initial step is to conduct a bacterial culture of the prostatic fluid, along with a drug sensitivity test. Based on the results, the pathogen causing the infection is identified, and the antibiotics to which this pathogen is sensitive are determined. Then, treatment proceeds with these sensitive antibiotics. Additionally, patients can take warm water sitz baths every evening and regularly visit the hospital for prostate massages.
