Overview
What are Chronic UTIs and Prostatitis?
Chronic Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) refer to recurrent or persistent infections in the urinary system. In women, this is most commonly related to persistent infection of the bladder or urethra. In men, it may also involve the prostate gland (chronic bacterial prostatitis). Non-bacterial prostatitis, or chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), may stem from immune responses or nerve issues. In London, Mr Sachin Malde provides comprehensive evaluations to address these interconnected conditions effectively.
Symptoms of Chronic UTIs and Prostatitis
Diagnosis and Tests for Chronic UTIs and Prostatitis
Diagnosing Chronic UTIs and Prostatitis involves a detailed medical history, physical examination, urine analysis and culture, blood tests like PSA, and possibly imaging such as ultrasound or cystoscopy. Mr Sachin Malde, Consultant Urologist in London, utilises advanced diagnostic methods (including extended quantitative culture and next-generation sequencing) to pinpoint the cause, whether bacterial infection or other factors, ensuring an accurate and personalized treatment plan.
Treatment Options for Chronic UTIs and Prostatitis
Treatment for Chronic UTIs and Prostatitis depends on many factors and may include prolonged antibiotics for bacterial cases, alpha-blockers to relax muscles, anti-inflammatory medications like NSAIDs for pain relief, or physical therapy for chronic pelvic pain. In persistent cases, procedures like bladder instillations, prostate massage or minimally invasive therapies such as bladder fulguration and shock-wave therapy may be considered. As an expert in urological conditions, Mr Sachin Malde offers cutting-edge treatments in London, aiming for long-term resolution and improved urinary health.
