[Transperineal puncture drug injection in the treatment of chronic prostatitis].
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.


CONCLUSIONS
Transperineal puncture drug injection is a safe and effective way in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.
