Objective:
To investigate the effect of transperineal puncture drug injection in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
Methods:
Forty cases of chronic prostatitis underwent transperineal puncture drug injection. Bacterial culture and antimicrobial agent sensitivity tests were conducted on the prostatic fluid of the patients. A sensitive antimicrobial agent was selected, mixed with lidocaine and dexamethasone, and injected transperineally into the prostate at intervals of 7 days and 4 times as one course. After one month, the effect was evaluated and the patients were followed up for 6 months.
Results:
Among the 40 cases, the cure rate was 52.5% (21/ 40), the alleviation rate 40% (16/40), the nullify rate 7.5% (3/40) and the total effectivity rate 92.5%. No relapse was found in the 28 followed-up cases.
Conclusion:
Transperineal puncture drug injection is a safe and effective way in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
