Problem description
Chronic prostatitis is the cause of pelvic floor pain, difficulty urinating, sometimes accompanied by increased body temperature and problems in sexual life. It is not only a disease of older men but also of younger age groups.
Forms of prostatitis
1. Acute bacterial prostatitis – is caused by bacteria and is manifested by acute symptoms: chills and fever, pain in the lower back, lower abdomen, perineum, burning during urination and inability to urinate.
2. Chronic bacterial prostatitis – is also caused by bacteria, but has a long course. Its symptoms are pain in the lower abdomen and perineum, occasional burning during urination, lack of interest in sex and often erectile dysfunction.
3. Chronic pelvic pain syndrome – the most common form of prostatitis. It has a long course, but without the presence of infection. It can be inflammatory or non-inflammatory. It manifests itself similarly to chronic bacterial prostatitis: pain in the perineum, in the testicles, in the penis and in the bladder area, pain during urination and ejaculation. The disease has periods of improvement and deterioration.
4. Asymptomatic inflammatory prostatitis – an asymptomatic disease that is accidentally detected during a urological examination or prostate biopsy.

The ESWT method consists of applying extracorporeal shock waves to calcified prostate scars to which bacteria adhere. The effect of the shock wave destroys the calcifications, which are phagocytized by leukocytes and subsequently more easily eliminated by the body’s own immune system. The treatment is outpatient and does not require hospitalization. The patient undergoes a series of at least 4 sessions with us, once every one to two weeks.
