Prostatitis Treatment in Goldman Urology Clinic Gangnam Branch
About the clinic
Prostatitis care at Goldman Urology Clinic — Gangnam Branch in Seoul, South Korea, includes testing and medical treatment. A diagnostic workup may start around $100, while UroLift for coexisting BPH may run around $2,400–$5,100; urologist Dr. Lee Min-jong works with a team of 11 board-certified urologists.
The clinic is an accredited healthcare provider in South Korea and a designated pilot hospital for pre- and post-surgery education. It has recorded over 2 million urinary disease cases and performed 400,000+ Multi-PCR tests. It was Korea’s first urology clinic to introduce PCR testing.
Prostatitis tests
Testing helps distinguish bacterial from non-bacterial prostatitis and check for urinary blockage or inflammation.
- Prostate examination: Ultrasound with a digital rectal examination (DRE).
- Urine flow checks: Uroflowmetry, post-void residual urine measurement, and a three-glass urine test.
- Prostate and semen samples: Analysis of prostate fluid and semen.
- Infection testing: Multi-PCR checks for HPV, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, and mycoplasma. It identifies species and drug resistance. A 25-type bacterial panel is also available.
- Blood tests and imaging: WBC and CRP blood tests, plus ultrasound or MRI of the prostate and nearby tissue.
Medical treatment and pelvic therapy
The clinic’s MULTI 8 Complex Treatment is a stepwise programme for acute and chronic prostatitis, including chronic pelvic pain syndrome. It starts by identifying the cause, then builds a treatment plan and manages recurrence.
- MULTI 8 Complex Treatment: May combine antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, direct prostate injections, magnetic therapy, and prostate massage. Other options include botulinum toxin injections, nerve inhibition therapy, heat, electrical stimulation, and guidance on fluids and urination habits.
- Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT): Applies shock waves to the pelvic area and combines them with prostate massage for chronic prostatitis or pelvic pain syndrome.
Acute cases may improve within weeks, while chronic prostatitis may need months of management.
Procedures for coexisting prostate obstruction
When prostatitis occurs with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the clinic also offers procedures to relieve obstruction.
- HoLEP: A holmium laser removes enlarged tissue without an incision. Hospital stays for major prostate procedures are 1–3 days.
- Aquablation: A robot-guided water jet removes tissue without heat. The procedure uses ultrasound and endoscopy for guidance.
- Rezūm: Water vapour is delivered through a cystoscope under caudal anaesthesia. The prostate shrinks over 1–3 months.
- UroLift: Implants hold prostate tissue aside to widen the urethra. The procedure takes 10–15 minutes, and discharge is usually the same day.
- iTind: A temporary nitinol implant shapes the urethra and is removed after 5–7 days. A catheter is usually not needed.
- Plasma TURis: An electrode passed through the urethra removes obstructing prostate tissue.
Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss which tests or treatment options may fit their needs.

Goldman Urology Clinic Gangnam Branch: more details about the clinic
Clinical Achievements and Data-Driven Care
Since 2002, the clinic has recorded over one million clinical cases. Its proprietary health system draws on data from 2 million urinary disease cases. This dataset helps specialists build tailored treatment pathways for patients aged 20 to 80.
The clinic follows EAU guidelines from the European Association of Urology for its surgical algorithms. Specialists regularly present research at international conferences. These include the 2025 SIU conference and the 2026 Korean Society of Urological Endoscopy and Robotics. The medical team includes 11 board-certified urology specialists.
Advanced Prostate Care (BPH)
Goldman Urology Clinic manages over 6,000 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It performs about 40% of all HoLEP surgeries in South Korea. Surgeons use the "FIVE RADAR" assessment to choose the most effective procedure for each patient.
The clinic offers several methods for prostate enlargement:
- Aquablation – robotic water-jet therapy that spares sexual function by avoiding heat.
- HoLEP – holmium laser enucleation used to remove large amounts of prostate tissue.
- Rezūm – water vapor thermal therapy that uses steam to reduce prostate size.
- Urolift – a mechanical system that lifts and holds enlarged prostate tissue.
- iTind – a temporary nitinol device used to reshape the prostatic urethra.
Post-operative care includes urinary flow checks and post-void residual evaluation. Most patients stay 1–3 days after major prostate procedures.
Urinary Stone Treatment and Technology
The clinic has treated over 10,000 cases of urinary stones. It uses a "One Day System" to move from diagnosis to treatment quickly. Specialists report a 97% success rate for ureteroscopic stone removal.
Diagnostic and treatment tools for stones include:
- URO dot AI – CT-based support that analyzes stone size and location in 5 minutes.
- Zamenix – an AI-based 3D robotic system for flexible endoscopic stone surgery.
- UROstone – an AI shockwave lithotripter that tracks stones in real-time during breathing.
- RIRS – retrograde intra-renal surgery using flexible endoscopes for kidney stones.
Specialists also perform extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for non-surgical stone fragmentation. If ESWL doesn't work, the clinic offers rigid or flexible laser ureteroscopy.
Men's Health and Surgical Services
The clinic provides surgical care for genital health and sexual function. Specialists use Multi-PCR testing to monitor HPV activation after removing genital warts. This helps manage recurrence risk since the virus can remain latent.
Procedures available in the surgical department include:
- Non-scalpel Vasectomy – uses triple occlusion with laser sutures for permanent contraception.
- Laser Circumcision – a 20-minute day surgery that reduces bleeding and recovery time.
- Dermal Augmentation – uses artificial or autologous grafts for penile enlargement.
The clinic also treats erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, and urinary incontinence. It offers "pain-zero endoscopy" systems for greater comfort during diagnostic exams.
Support for International Patients
The clinic provides English-language patient materials for international visitors. It operates an urgent CT-to-treatment process for acute conditions like kidney stones. This workflow minimizes wait times in emergency scenarios. Specialists offer consultations in English and Korean.
