Objective: Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT) is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment, applied as a single session of 1-hour duration.
Subjects and methods: A group of 11 patients with chronic abacterial prostatitis, who failed to respond to a variety of conventional treatments, underwent this therapy in our centre.
Results: The results after two years of follow-up are encouraging: 88% remain free of symptoms.
Conclusion: Thermotherapy seems to add a new alternative for this hard to manage disease.
