Suggest Latest Treatments Available For Prostatectomy

I ve been suffering from prostatitist for12 years now. I m now 47 years old and tired of treatment. I ve been on different long term antibiotics, both pills and injections. I m never cured, always have all the classic prostatitis symthoms. Most troubling are pain upon urination, difficult urination, lost of sexual desires and ED. I m thinking about having my prostate removed. What is your professional opinion? Newer treatment or prostatectomy? Thanks, Jules

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have Chronic Prostatitis since 10years and have been taking antibiotics frequently.

Looking at the duration and persisting symptoms in spite of taking antibiotics it looks that you have Abacterial Prostatitis .

Please you can have a trial of prostatic massage every day for a month and observe for any positive results .

I have been practising this mode of treatment for last 40 years in my patients of Chronic.Prostatitis who are resistant to antibiotics and it is found to be working well and helpful to the patients in relieving their symptoms.

You will need help of any one from your close relative or health personnel to get prostatic massage done.
