I've been diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and urinary bladder wall thickening of 7mm. Are there any medications that can help treat these conditions or is surgery an option for prostatitis? Would surgery provide a permanent solution for these issues?

For chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, medication is the primary treatment option, although surgery might be considered in specific cases. Bladder wall thickening, however, is a different issue and requires separate evaluation and treatment. There is no guarantee of a permanent cure, but with appropriate management, symptoms can be effectively controlled.
