SURGICAL

 

 We have had no confirmation that any surgical technique cures or even helps prostatitis. On the contrary we have had letters from men who have found no difference after a TURP for instance and men who have much worse pain 'one hundred times worse' following treatment to 'cure' their prostatitis by removing prostate tissue.

We even have one man after years of prostate pain who had his 'totally removed' and still has prostate pain !

The Thermex treatment appears to help but we have seen no long term results. In the same way we assume that microwave treatment could also help.

As TURAPY ablates (destroys) tissue then we assume that the same conditions would apply as per para one above.
