Chronic prostatitis is one of the most common and difficult-to-treat urological conditions in men. It occurs due to long-term inflammation in the prostate gland and significantly reduces quality of life. The condition is characterized by episodes of severe pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary problems.
In conventional treatments, oral antibiotics, alpha-blockers (medications for benign prostatic hyperplasia), and anti-inflammatory drugs are used. However, many patients continue to experience symptoms despite these treatments. In such cases, one of the most effective options is intraprostatic drug injection.
How Is Intraprostatic Drug Injection Performed?
- The procedure is carried out using a specialized camera system called a cystoscope.
- A thin camera is inserted through the urethra to reach the prostate.
- Special medications containing antibiotics are directly injected into the prostate tissue.
- This allows the drug to reach the inflamed area directly and exert a high-concentration effect.
- The procedure is completely outpatient and can be performed easily under mild anesthesia.
Advantages of Intraprostatic Drug Injection
- Direct delivery of the medication into the prostate ensures a much stronger effect.
- Systemic side effects (from oral medications) are minimized.
- Symptoms can improve rapidly.
- Pain and sexual dysfunction may be significantly reduced.
Final Notes…
Intraprostatic drug injection is an effective and safe alternative for patients with chronic prostatitis who do not respond to conventional treatments. When performed by experienced urology specialists, it is a modern therapy with high patient satisfaction.
