    TLDR Intraprostatic injection and high-frequency thermotherapy are more effective for treating prostatitis after TURP than antibiotics, tamsulosin, and finasteride.
    The study investigated the diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis following Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) in 85 patients, divided into two treatment groups. Group A received a combination of intraprostatic injection with drugs and high-frequency thermotherapy, while Group B was treated with antibiotherapy, tamsulosin, and finasteride over a 2-month period. Results showed that Group A experienced a greater reduction in mean Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (CPSI) scores (15.3 ± 3.0) compared to Group B (10.7 ± 2.2), and a higher bacterium negative rate (88.8% vs. 81.6%). The study concluded that the treatment involving intraprostatic injection and high-frequency thermotherapy was more effective than the combination of antibiotherapy, tamsulosin, and finasteride.
