The prostate is a walnut-sized exocrine gland that produces important components of semen. Because it sits next to the bladder, any problem with it can affect passing urine. One of the most common prostate conditions is inflammation, acute or chronic prostatitis.
Prostatitis is a benign, non-cancerous inflammation of the prostate gland. It can be caused by infection, but sometimes no specific cause is found in routine tests.
The main symptoms include:
pain in the pelvis, genitals, groin or lower back
for people working in a stressful environment
difficulty and pain when passing urine
sexual dysfunction or painful orgasm
Prostatitis can occur at any age, but most often affects men over 40. It is divided into acute and chronic forms.
Acute prostatitis starts suddenly with serious symptoms such as high fever, nausea, vomiting, severe lower abdominal pain and very painful urination. It is important to start treatment without delay. The condition is easy to diagnose, and a prompt response improves the chances of a quick recovery and reduces the risk of it becoming chronic.
Chronic prostatitis develops gradually and often recurs, with infection lasting longer. The symptoms are somewhat milder than in acute prostatitis but just as troublesome because they persist. They include more frequent urination and pain or discomfort in the lower back, lower abdomen, testicles or perineum.
Chronic prostatitis has been difficult to treat, and patients often underwent various procedures, sometimes painful, or received only symptom relief. We offer radiofrequency thermotherapy. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia; sensations of pain vary from person to person.
A newer approach to treating prostatitis
Thermotherapy is a newer approach to treating chronic prostatitis. It is one of the methods used for this condition, and the choice of method is made by the doctor based on the diagnosis. Radiofrequency (RF) technology allows treatment to be tailored to each patient according to the length of the urethra passing through the prostate. RF energy provides safe, predictable heat distribution, and treatment is carried out at 45°C. The applicator inserted into the urethra has temperature sensors that measure the highest temperature in the prostate during treatment, and temperature graphs are displayed continuously on screen. Bipolar technology concentrates RF energy in the prostate with minimal energy delivered to surrounding tissue, while a cooling system protects the healthy urethra and keeps you comfortable. The heat reduces excess prostate tissue and widens the urethra.
The TEMPRO device is used in many countries to treat male conditions that are difficult to treat with medication alone. Radiofrequency treatment of chronic prostatitis is a newer approach that is minimally invasive and allows a quick return to daily activities.
Treatment takes place in a well-equipped, air-conditioned procedure room and lasts about an hour. Patients do not usually need sick leave and can return to their daily activities straight away. About 10% of men will need a bladder catheter for a few days after the procedure.
After the procedure you move to a recovery room, where our staff look after you for about an hour to keep you comfortable and reduce the risk of complications. Fast internet and TV are available during this time.

The procedure is performed by Tomasz Gołąbek MD PhD, a consultant urologist with extensive clinical experience. He trained and worked for many years at leading centres in the United States and Europe: Harvard Medical School and Boston University in the USA, and Cork University Hospital and Mercy University Hospital in Ireland. He was an assistant professor at the Department of Urology, Jagiellonian University Medical College in Kraków.
Recipient of numerous international awards and distinctions, and a scholar of The European Urological Scholarship Programme (EUSP), the American Austrian Foundation and the Open Medical Institute.
He actively develops his theoretical and practical knowledge and is involved in research and clinical trials. He is the author of two books, 6 textbook chapters and more than 60 papers in international journals, and above all a doctor who works with dedication and a personal approach to every patient.
