We have treated 26 chronic prostatitis patients with transurethral microwave thermotherapy.After 1 month treated,patients were followed up.The results show that the relative voiding resistance (RVR) are significantly decreased than that before treated( P <0.01).Most of the subjective symptom are improved.The way of transurethral microwave thermotherapy is most effect to treat chronic prostatitis.And we discussed the etiology and the machnism of thermotherapy.
