This disease is one of the most common among male pathologies, which can be of another nature (acute and slow pathology). This attack occurs for various reasons.
But, regardless of the causes of pathologies, the patient must undergo a complex therapy for the treatment of such a disease in order to recover from this disease without a trace.
Here, in the article, many aspects of such therapy are revealed, how effective its implementation is. Questions have also been raised about new methods used by the medical profession.
How to treat acute prostatitis
This pathology is not difficult to diagnose. There are such features that it is difficult to confuse: soreness in the perineal region, discomfort during urination. Treatment of an acute type of pathology includes drug therapy with antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory complex.
Ultrasound examination allows you to determine the size and biological condition of the prostate. In case of signs of complex and acute intoxication, the patient should be referred immediately to a hospital. Milder forms of acute prostatitis can be treated on an outpatient basis.
During the course of therapy, sometimes some complications arise, namely:
- development of an acute phase to a chronic phase;
- purulent inflammation of the prostate.
Most often, with proper treatment, complete recovery occurs in a fairly short period of time with the use of timely therapy. However, the foci of growth of those tissues that can damage the organ can stay inside the gland. To determine if they are, it is possible to detect them by performing a transrectal ultrasound.
How to treat chronic prostatitis
The pathology usually develops without pronounced symptoms, sometimes for a fairly long period, calculated in years. Perhaps the appearance of such symptoms:
- the appearance of increased urine production;
- withdrawal of soreness in the lower abdominal cavity;
- malfunction of the pouring process.
Treatment of this pathology is carried out with antibiotics for about 5-7 weeks. The course of complex therapy for prostatitis also includes the use of agents that stimulate tissue repair processes and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Doctors at the complex also prescribe alpha-blocking drugs that reduce prostate arousal. Among the methods of physiotherapy, the most popular for this disease are microwave therapy sessions and myostimulation.
Treatment of chronic asymptomatic prostatitis
This type of pathology develops without showing signs. Many experts believe that asymptomatic prostatitis does not need urgent treatment.
It is enough to perform some preventive procedures. Prevention also means a proper diet, an active lifestyle, avoiding alcohol and taking vitamin preparations.
Complex treatment of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis
In the therapeutic complex for the treatment of this pathology, tools and methods are used such as:
- antibacterial drugs;
- sessions of different types of physiotherapy;
- collection of herbs and various types of phytopreparations;
- Anti-inflammatory therapy.
The signs of pathology are very similar to the symptoms of ordinary prostatitis, a slow form.
The most important types of complex treatment today
The most popular types of complex therapy for prostatitis are:
- antibacterial complex;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- immune complexes;
- physiotherapy sessions;
- massage treatments;
- surgery
What are each of the methods?
Anti-inflammatory therapy
The complex course of healing provides for the use of various drugs that have an anti-inflammatory effect.
Basically, they are special tools, for example:
- candles with propolis (broad-spectrum drugs, suppress the inflammatory process, increase the body's immunity);
- suppositories with ichthyol (used for slow forms of pathology, increase blood flow and have analgesic properties).
Antibacterial therapy
With this therapy, antibiotics are used. They are considered the basis of the entire course of complex therapy in all cases of this pathology, especially in acute prostatitis. This type of prostatitis can be completely cured with the use of such medications, if they are prescribed correctly. And there will be no further complications.
The main thing in this case is the correct choice of antibacterial drugs. This takes into account how sensitive the microorganisms are to this drug, the abilities of the drug and the sensitivity of the patient's body to it.
The safety of the medicine for the patient should be paramount when prescribing it, especially if the medicine is to be used for a long time. A course of antibacterial drugs is prescribed with obvious symptoms of an infectious lesion. In this case, the patient's body temperature rises, pain appears in the perineum.
Antibacterial agents from a number of macrolides are especially popular in modern medicine. These drugs have tissue penetrating properties. This ability allows them to cross the tissue barriers in the prostate gland and enter directly into the foci of inflammation.
Such treatment is carried out, as a rule, for two weeks, no more. In the absence of any improvement at the end of the course, then use of the product should be discontinued. If changes are observed towards effectiveness, then treatment with the prescribed drug can be continued until complete recovery occurs.
Immunostimulatory therapy
In addition to previously described methods of healing, doctors often prescribe immunostimulatory drugs, drugs for the prostate are inexpensive and effective. It should also be noted that a decrease in the body's immunity or the protective function of individual organs quickly leads to the development of bacterial forms of prostatitis.
Therefore, it is unacceptable to forget immunomodulatory agents. Such drugs in complex therapy are prescribed when different forms of pathology are detected. In most cases, drugs that have zinc in their chemical composition are prescribed. This is the element that has the ability to destroy harmful bacteria and viruses.
Immunostimulating herbal preparations are no less popular here. Among them, the preparation of Echinacea deserves special attention. There are remedies that are a combination of several herbs.
They strengthen the body's immune forces well. If the patient has a chronic pathological type, antibacterial agents are included in the complex. Immune drugs give the best results in a relatively short time.
Moreover, they contribute to the consolidation of the results of the treatment of pathologists and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
Sometimes it is more advisable to use complex preparations containing vitamins and minerals as well as herbal substances. Such funds help accelerate the recovery processes in the affected organs, increase the ability to resist all kinds of infections.
Physiotherapy
Equally important is to use physiological procedures in the prostate therapy complex. Such therapy can help in complex treatment and accelerate the "work" of drugs, which ultimately affects the effectiveness of treatment.
The advantages of such therapy are the following points:
- Physiotherapy improves lymph and blood circulation, and this helps in the rapid dissolution of inflammatory infiltrates. Unhindered circulation of medicines is also ensured.
- Improved metabolic process has a positive effect on prostate restoration.
- Membrane cell permeability facilitates the entry of drugs.
The most "popular" methods of physiotherapy are:
- Galvanizing session (direct current with low power);
- Electrostimulation procedures (cause muscle contraction);
- UHF (action of a high frequency electromagnetic field);
- Microwaves (action of ultra short waves);
- Magnetic therapy (low frequency current with a constant magnetic field).
Prostate massage (prostate)
This procedure is also one of the physiotherapy treatments for prostatitis. In this case, several types of massages are used. According to experts, regular prostate massage sessions help to avoid stagnation in it, to improve the processes of removing prostate secretions. This procedure is contraindicated only when:
- prostatitis has an acute bacterial nature (infection may become more prevalent);
- there were complications associated with anal pathology.
Techniques for performing this type of massage
Sessions should only be performed by a qualified professional - urologist or andrologist. This requirement is necessary to avoid damage. For the procedure, it is necessary to know clearly the location of the prostate and the origin of its dysfunction. Massage:
- accelerates the penetration of drugs into the prostate tissue;
- promotes increased blood flow;
- positively affects the muscles of the gland.
Surgical intervention
Surgical treatment surgery may be necessary with the development of various pathology complications.
For example, such a problematic phenomenon is the formation of abscesses and foci of purulent inflammation, which can be removed only in this way. Surgical treatment is also necessary when there is an urgent need to restore the ability to pass urine through the urethral canal with a sharp urinary retention that occurs when the urethral passage narrows.
An operation is necessary even in the case when irreversible processes develop, for example, prostate hyperplasia. In this case, the surgical method of treatment is more effective. With it, the size of the tumor and the signs of pathology are reduced.
This method can cause side effects, although most male patients do not have any particular health problems. In modern medicine, there are several types of surgical operations, the choice of which depends on many reasons determined by the doctor as a result of the examination.
Treatment with folk remedies
This method is worth noting separately. Scientific medicine does not consider folk remedies as effective and correct, although some of them are quite effective and do not give complications. For example, pathologies can be performed using the known parsley.
Pour in a liter of boiling water, put on fire and continue to cook on a low flame for a third of an hour. You can use not only grass but also seeds. You can make a tincture from the seeds.
It should only be remembered that prostatitis is a serious pathology. It will not disappear with the wave of a magic wand. Even with the disappearance of obvious symptoms of pathology, the process can go unnoticed by the patient, and "a beautiful day" suddenly appears with acute inflammation or other problem.
Forsrsht therefore needs to undergo a comprehensive course of high quality treatment, which includes:
- visit to a highly qualified and experienced specialist;
- it is necessary to strictly follow the course of treatment that will be prescribed by the doctor.
Only with the complex treatment of prostatitis is it possible to completely get rid of this disease and get good health for many years.
