How much does it cost to treat prostatitis? It doesn't take a lot of money to cure prostatitis. However, if the treatment method is improperly chosen, it may lead to an endless treatment process. Improper treatment for prostatitis patients can worsen the condition and increase the difficulty of future treatment. So, how much does it actually cost to cure prostatitis? The exact answer is: no more than 2000 yuan.
The treatment of prostatitis is a chronic prostatitis. Chronic diseases require slow treatment. The long treatment cycle for chronic prostatitis makes it difficult for patients to afford the costs and endure the pain of long-term hospital treatment. They also lack the time to frequently visit the hospital for treatment. As a result, common phenomena include recovery followed by recurrence, seeking treatment after recurrence, changing hospitals, and trying different treatments. This leads to wasted money and increased treatment difficulty, making it easy for chronic prostatitis to become resistant to prolonged treatment. The methods and costs for treating prostate diseases based on their characteristics are as follows:
Drug treatment for prostatitis: Western medicine uses drugs to treat prostatitis, generally using antibiotics. The basic therapy is "antibacterial + anti-inflammatory + consolidation treatment." The average symptom improvement cycle lasts about three months, with treatment costs exceeding 3000 yuan.
Injection treatment for prostatitis: This involves directly injecting medication into the prostate. The puncture process and drug injection cause severe pain, which is unbearable. Repeated injections can lead to fibrous tissue proliferation and hardening of the prostate, increasing the difficulty of future prostate treatment. Generally, injection treatment requires 7-14 days, one to two courses of treatment, with each course costing around 6000 yuan and requiring the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Irrigation treatment for prostatitis: Irrigation treatment involves inserting a tube through the urethra to inject medication at high pressure into the prostate tissue. Urethral irrigation can cause urine reflux, leading to "chemical prostatitis," with serious consequences and a tendency to cause urethritis or epididymitis as complications. Urethral irrigation is closely related to the doctor's skills; improper operation can lead to infections or failure of the drug to reach the prostate. Even with highly skilled doctors, it's impossible to inject the drug into all five lobes of the prostate. Therefore, this method has no therapeutic effect. Irrigation treatment requires 3-5 courses of treatment, each lasting 14 days, with costs around 2000 yuan per course. Three courses would cost over 6000 yuan and require the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Field-effect guided interventional treatment for prostatitis: The greatest harm of guided interventional treatment and puncture is that they affect the natural physiological balance of the prostate, easily causing lipid fibrosis and multiple hard nodules calcification in the prostate, leading to premature hyperplasia of the prostate, loss of prostate activity, and premature aging. This treatment causes unimaginable pain while destroying the membrane between the prostate and the urethra, causing the prostate and urethra to connect and producing a series of sequelae. General treatment costs exceed 6000 yuan and require the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Other instrument (physical) treatments for prostatitis: Let's first look at these technical data:
Microwave (43℃－48℃) - 300 yuan per session, 7-10 days per course, once daily;
Laser (43℃－50℃) - 300-500 yuan per session, 7 days per course, once daily;
Radiofrequency (43℃－47℃) - 300-500 yuan per session, 7 days per course, once daily;
Ultrasound (80℃－120℃) - 200-300 yuan per session, 15 days per course, once daily.
Some treatments bring certain pain and complications to prostatitis patients, such as dysuria, hematuria, and the possibility of retrograde infection and cross-infection. Some treatment methods need to be selectively performed based on the patient's physical condition, such as ultrasound and laser. High equipment prices make physical therapy expensive, and those who have undergone the above treatments will understand.
Treatment heads entering the rectum type (40℃－43℃): Improper treatment can cause anal bleeding. The distance from the prostate position to the anus (6-9 cm) varies among individuals, plus the large cavity of the rectum, so self-treatment is difficult to find the accurate location of the prostate. Inserting a stick into the anus once or twice a day not only has questionable effects but also makes it difficult for ordinary people to persist due to the pain. Issues of indirect transmission and hygiene disinfection are also hard to solve. Infrared, spectrum, α wave, γ wave, and magnetic therapy are misleading for prostatitis patients. Regardless of what instruments are used, they delay treatment and miss the best treatment opportunity.
How much does traditional Chinese medicine cost to treat prostatitis? Traditional Chinese medicine must go through three processes to treat prostatitis: the first is the detoxification and sterilization process, the second is the anti-inflammatory and blood stasis elimination process, and the third is the regulation process.
The first process takes six months, the second process takes three months, and the third process takes 1-2 years. Each treatment process requires frequent prescription adjustments, with each dose of Chinese medicine averaging 10 yuan. The cost and suffering of taking medicine for one to two years is unimaginable. Some so-called Chinese medicines sold online temporarily have some effect because they contain antibiotics and large doses of hormones. After short-term effectiveness, disasters will follow.
