Treatment options for prostatitis

Prostate inflammation is one of the most common diseases in men. In the initial stages of development, the pathology does not cause obvious symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. However, in order to maintain health, an appropriate prostatitis treatment regimen is required, which is individually selected by the attending physician based on clinical manifestations and examination results.

The principle of correct treatment of prostatitis

Young people don't think about possible problems with the prostate because everyone thinks the disease is an older generation's disease. In fact, people over the age of 50 are more susceptible to the disease. However, statistics given by experts show that even young men suffer from prostatitis.

At risk are residents of colder regions, especially those with high humidity. Medical research shows that more than 35% of able-bodied men suffer from some form of prostate inflammation. In colder regions, the figure exceeds 70 percent, and there is no age limit.

It is important to understand that worrisome symptoms should not be ignored and annual physicals should not be ignored. Modern methods of treating prostatitis are most effective in the initial stages of the disease. Medicine offers various forms of treatment and procedures, focusing on the treatment of any form of disease.

The new treatment for prostatitis is a set of measures to restore health. This approach is due to the fact that there can be multiple causes of the disease. With the help of treatment, it is recommended to completely eliminate the source of infection, improve the blood supply to the prostate, strengthen the immune system.

The complex approach consists of several successive stages of prostatitis treatment:

• A thorough medical examination to determine the specific cause of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. For diagnosis, general blood tests and PSA level determinations, ultrasonography, prostate secretions, ejaculation, and urine tests are used.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of individually selected drugs to destroy the foci of infection has become a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• A physical therapy program is specified as additional therapy.
• Prostate Massage Course. The procedure is designed to improve prostate function and prevent erectile dysfunction.
• Adjust the nutritional system of patients with prostatitis. During treatment, a special diet was established. Alcohol and caffeinated beverages, fatty, fried and spicy foods are prohibited.
• Immunity is boosted with the help of vitamin and mineral complexes, home stimulants and dietary supplements.

health care

Prostatitis should only be treated by a qualified doctor. Self-administration of potent drugs is not acceptable. It should also be understood that as the infection process develops in the body, treatment with medication is required. Folk recipes don't help. Today, medicine offers several options for the standard approach to treating prostatitis.

Antibacterial drugs

As a method of treating inflammation caused by bacterial infections, various drugs with antibacterial properties are used. This is a complete set of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis, which has the property of preventing the growth and development of harmful microorganisms in the human body.

According to their pharmacological effects, drugs are divided into two categories: bactericidal effect and bacteriostatic effect. The first category includes drugs that can disrupt cell membranes and cause microbes to die. A second class of drugs for prostatitis is based on the principle of disrupting protein synthesis and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria.

Types of antibiotics

Receipt of medicines is prescribed by a doctor after a medical examination. This is a prerequisite for choosing the most effective treatment. This is not to say that there is a good antibiotic for the best treatment of prostatitis. The choice of treatment is based on the individual sensitivity of the bacteria to the drug. The following table lists the drug groups that are widely used in treatment:

	Tetracyclines	penicillin	Fluoroquinolones	Macrolides	cephalosporins

physiotherapy

Additional procedures were prescribed based on the results of the physical examination and the established diagnosis. This is an integral part of comprehensive treatment for patients with prostate inflammation. Manipulation is used to enhance the effect of taking drugs to treat prostatitis.

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic area. Normalization of cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration processes.
• Stimulates the outflow of lymph fluid, thereby preventing prostate congestion and reducing inflammation.
• During treatment, the microcirculatory processes within the prostate tissue are normalized. As a result, the delivery of the drug to the prostate and the clearance of bacterial waste are accelerated.
• Improves excretion of prostate secretions, thereby reducing the likelihood of further spread of bacterial infection.
• Increased permeability of cells and tissues for better absorption of vitamins and trace elements.

Physical therapy also has its contraindications. It is not recommended to operate in the acute form of inflammatory processes, urethritis, small pelvic disease. No additional procedures are prescribed for viral lesions of the body, chronic heart disease, HIV and fungal skin lesions. In other cases, treatment is recommended.

The duration of the treatment course is determined by the doctor. Some of these are recommended daily, others are recommended weekly. Modern medicine offers a range of possible physical therapy procedures:

1. UHF therapy. During this procedure, a special capacitor plate is used to apply an electric field to the tissue.

2. Electromagnetic field therapyUHF.
3. Ultrasound therapy. Uses high frequency vibrations that the ear cannot perceive.
4. Dassenization. The patient is exposed to high frequency pulsed current.
5. Galvanized. A very effective method of physical therapy, it takes the first place in treatment and prevention procedures. During the session, a continuous current of small intensity and low voltage is used.
6. electrophoresiswith the use of drugs. A complex process combines the effects on prostate tissue with direct current and the pharmacological properties of the drug.
7. Magnetic therapy. Physiotherapy, exposing the patient's body to a low frequency magnetic field.
8. Laser Treatment. Low-intensity radiation to inflammatory lesions.
9. therapeutic enema. The method involves introducing into the patient's rectum a solution based on herbs and vegetable oils.
10. bath therapy. For prostatitis, a sedentary water program is prescribed. Specialty medicines, herbal infusions and decoctions, essential oils are used as fillers.

Physiotherapy procedures using special equipment are prescribed during spa treatments or in medical facilities. Procedures that can be performed without the participation of qualified medical personnel are self-administered at home.

prostate massage

One of the most common ways to treat and prevent prostate disease. Mechanical stimulation of the prostate has been used in world medicine for over 100 years. It is still an effective treatment.

Massage sessions are conducted by medically educated specialists. There is a view that operations can be performed independently. However, due to a person's anatomy and the location of his internal organs, this is not possible. Effects on the prostate should be therapeutic in nature and performed by a qualified health worker.

Prostate massage not only helps with the inflammatory process. It is a good preventative for impotence and various erectile dysfunctions. Contraindications to the operation are the acute form of prostatitis, hemorrhoids, the presence of malignant processes in the prostate, abscesses, pain during massage.

Phytotherapy

The duration of treatment with drugs depends on the complexity of the disease process. Folk methods based on the action of plant components can be used in the acute phase of the disease, as well as in the exacerbation phase of chronic prostatitis.

Formulas tested over the centuries do not have the same unique ingredients as synthetic drugs, but are just as effective. Use herbal remedies as a treatment only after consulting your doctor beforehand. The most common homemade recipes are:

1. honey tea. A simple and familiar snack is therapeutic. Recommended a day - at least 100 grams of honey. The course of treatment for prostatitis is 10 days.
2. pumpkin seeds. This simple product is used as a source of zinc. You need to eat a handful of seeds every day. Another way to use it: Put peeled, unroasted pumpkin seeds in a meat grinder and mix with 200 grams of honey. From the resulting mixture, form walnut-sized balls. It is recommended to eat a ball every day before meals.
3. Poplar bark tincture. 100 grams of crushed bark must be mixed with 1 cup of vodka and covered. Store in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, then take 20 drops 3 times a day before meals.

operation treatment

Surgery is rarely used to treat prostatitis. This is not the most efficient way. The indication for invasive surgery is that the drugs, folk remedies and physiotherapy administered have no positive effect. Surgical intervention is required with the development of abscesses, severe inflammatory processes and urinary disturbances, and the presence of tumors. Despite the positive results after surgery, this treatment has serious contraindications:

• old age of men. Regardless of the symptoms, patients over the age of 70 will not be able to recover completely and quickly after surgery due to the aging of the body.
• The presence of chronic lesions of the cardiovascular and bronchopulmonary systems of the body.
• diabetes.
• Presence of severe inflammatory disease of the genitourinary system in acute form.
• Respiratory viral infection.
• coagulation disorders.
• Long-term use of blood-thinning drugs is required.

Precaution

To prevent the development of prostatitis, you do not need to take medicine or use various folk methods. The most effective way to keep yourself healthy is prevention. It is enough to follow a healthy lifestyle and minimize risk factors.

1. Hypothermia should be avoided, as it is a catalyst for inflammatory processes.
2. proper nutrition or diet. It is important to maintain a balanced intake of all the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function properly. At the same time, there is no need for medical nutrition, and it is enough not to abuse alcohol, oil, oil, salty, and smoked vegetables.

3. Annual preventive inspections. For no reason, most men think seeing a doctor is a waste of time. Prostatitis in the initial stage does not cause obvious symptoms, therefore, the presence of an inflammatory process can only be determined by examination and clinical research.
4. Moderate physical activity. No physical education at all, or conversely, exhausting workouts negatively impact the male body. To prevent prostatitis, 2-3 times a week of exercise is enough.
5. If possible, it is recommended to avoid severe stress and nerve shock.
6. regular sex life. No intimacy at all is highly undesirable. At the same time, excessive sexual activity promotes the emergence of various venereal diseases and is a catalyst for the development of prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a widespread disease that requires proper treatment. Modern treatments provide comprehensive support for men's health. In severe forms of the disease, recovery may be delayed indefinitely. You shouldn't put off seeing your doctor, in the initial stages of the disease, you can restore normal prostate function and relieve unpleasant pain symptoms.
