<p>The urgency of a treatment decision really depends upon the intensity of the symptoms, ability to tolerate them, and any risk (apart from symptoms) that their causes may represent. So it's partly a personal decision and it partly depends upon the assessment of a doctor. In other words, the best way to decide the urgency is to talk about it with your doctor(s).</p>

Don't misunderstand. Injections may very well work for individuals (hence the emphasis on "average" above). Overall, however, the injection story again argues for better research. Here's one reason this is so important ...<br />

To make rational, evidence-based clinical decisions requires prospective, standardized symptom measures, <i><b>adequate followup</b></i> ... you know, something we can interpret and quantify. It would have made no sense to tell everyone that <a href="http://prostatitissurgery.com/DR_chronic_prostatitis.html" target="_blank">David Radford</a> felt great <b><i>3 hours</i></b> after surgery. It's a whole other matter to say he's <b><i>3 years</i></b> out, fully functional, totally happy, and completely asymptomatic. And it will be a whole level yet again when we can look at 200 "David Radfords" and present the average response over time, individual patters of response over time, etc. I hear you - I have lowered e…tag:prostatitis.ning.com,2010-09-01:2201951:Comment:88792010-09-01T12:50:09.000ZJameshttp://prostatitis.ning.com/profile/James672
I hear you - I have lowered expectations - but high hopes.<br />
I have gotten decent relief in the past - and hope to again.<br />
<br />
If not - at least I know that there is options like LRP that did not exist until recently.

We do regularly hear stories of worsening symptoms with prostate injections. And plain outright <a href="http://prostatitissurgery.com/RP_prostatitis_surgery.html" target="_blank">prostate injection failures</a>, at times associated with significant pain.<br />
<br />
In the only study I've ever seen on injections, mean CPSI dropped from 25 to 17. Compared with historical controls, this is roughly <b><i>on average</i></b> the same as ciprofloxacin, pollen extract, and global therapeutic massage.

Dear James<br />
<br />
I am glad this treatment works for you....<br />
<br />
I have tried myself this option with my local Uro: protocol very similar with Dr Bahn...My doc told me it was a temporary fix and usually his patients got around 3months of relief.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately it didn't bring me any relief but worsened my symptoms.<br />
<br />
and one thing very weird happens after the injection my PSA raised from 1.0 to 7.0....today 6 months after this treatement my PSA is still oscillating between 5 to 6.<br />
