Surgical therapy is rarely needed to treat prostatitis. Occasionally a blockage of the ejaculatory duct or seminal vesicle prevents the infection from draining and resolving even with the help of the most powerful antibiotics. In these cases the blockage may need to be removed. The same techniques are used in the treatment of certain causes of male infertility. Male infertility specialists therefore have an increased familiarity and experience with these procedures and can recognize when they need to be used to treat prostatitis.
Therapy is custom tailored to the individual patient's needs.
