I have chronic prostatitis (not caused by infection) and my doctor wants to do a urolift to alleviate urine flow. would urolift aggravate my prostatitis?

This is one of several surgical options to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy, and may alleviate urinary symptoms. But do discuss, with your urologist, in detail, all to the various approaches, and include the potential complications and adverse reaction possibilities.

Urolift is for relieving prostatic obstruction It will not help with prostatitis, if that is what you have. I would suggest a second opinion
