About Prostatitis

Prostatitis is not a single procedure but a medical condition involving inflammation of the prostate gland, which a urologist diagnoses and manages. The urologist's role involves a comprehensive evaluation to determine the type (acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, or asymptomatic inflammatory) and initiate appropriate treatment. This typically includes a detailed medical history, a digital rectal exam (DRE), urine and blood tests, and sometimes imaging like a transrectal ultrasound. Treatment is tailored to the cause and may involve antibiotics for bacterial infections, alpha-blockers to relax muscle tissue, anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Effective management by a urologist aims to relieve painful symptoms, address urinary difficulties, and improve overall quality of life.

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
