Prostatitis treatment scheme

Prostatitis is one of the most common diseases in men. In the initial stage of development, the pathology does not cause obvious symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult. However, to preserve health, an appropriate treatment regimen for prostatitis is required, which is selected by the doctor individually, depending on the clinical manifestations and test results.

Principles of proper treatment of prostatitis

Young men do not think about possible problems with the prostate, because everyone considers this disease to be a disease of the older generation. Indeed, people over the age of 50 are more susceptible to this disease. However, statistics provided by experts show that even young men suffer from prostatitis.

Residents of cold regions, especially with high humidity, are at risk. Medical research shows that more than 35% of working-age men suffer from some form of prostatitis. And in cold zones, that figure exceeds 70% and has no age limit.

It is important to understand that alarming symptoms should not be ignored and annual medical examinations. Modern methods of prostatitis treatment are most effective in the initial stages of the disease. Medicine offers various forms of therapy and courses of medication aimed at treating any form of illness.

New ways to deal with prostatitis are a set of measures to restore health. This approach is due to the fact that there can be several reasons that cause the disease. With the help of therapy, it is suggested to completely remove the source of infection, improve blood supply to the prostate and strengthen the immune system.

The complex method includes several consecutive stages of prostatitis treatment:

• A detailed medical examination to determine the specific causes of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. For diagnosis, a general blood test and PSA level determination, ultrasound, examination of prostate secretions, ejaculate and urine are used.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of individually selected drugs destroys the focus of infection, which has become a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• Appointment of physiotherapy procedures as additional treatment.
• Prostate massage course. The procedure is aimed at improving prostate function and preventing erectile disorders.
• Adjusting the nutritional system of patients with prostatitis. During the treatment, a special diet is established. Alcoholic and caffeinated drinks, fatty, fried and spicy food are prohibited.
• Immunity is strengthened with the help of vitamin and mineral complexes, home stimulants and food supplements.

Health care

Prostatitis should only be treated by a qualified physician. Self-administration of powerful drugs is unacceptable. It should also be understood that with the development of an infectious process in the body, drug treatment is required. Folk recipes will not help. Today, medicine offers several options for the standard approach to the treatment of prostatitis.

Antibacterial drugs

Various drugs with antibacterial properties are used as a method of treating inflammation caused by bacterial infection. It is a whole series of drugs for prostatitis, which have the properties to prevent the growth and development of harmful microorganisms in the human body.

According to pharmaceutical action, drugs are divided into two categories: bactericidal and bacteriostatic action. The first category includes drugs that can destroy cell membranes and cause the death of microorganisms. Another type of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis is based on the principle of interfering with protein synthesis and stopping the growth of harmful bacteria.

Types of antibiotics

The reception of medicines is determined by the doctor after medical examinations. This is a prerequisite for choosing the most effective method of treatment. This does not mean that there is a good antibiotic that best treats prostatitis. Therapy is selected based on the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug. The groups of drugs widely used for treatment are shown in the table:

	Tetracyclines	Penicillins	Fluoroquinolones	macrolides	Cephalosporins
Ureaplasma	+		+	+

Physiotherapy

Additional procedures are prescribed based on the results of the medical examination and established diagnosis. This is an integral part of the complex treatment of patients with prostate inflammation. Manipulations are used to enhance the effect of medication in the treatment of prostatitis.

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic region. The processes of cell metabolism and tissue regeneration are normalized.
• Lymph outflow is stimulated, which prevents clogging of the prostate and reduces inflammation.
• During the treatment, the process of microcirculation within the prostate tissue is normalized. As a result, the delivery of medicinal substances to the prostate and the removal of bacterial waste products are accelerated.
• It improves the excretion of prostate secretions, which reduces the likelihood of further spread of bacterial infection.
• The permeability of cells and tissues increases, which leads to better absorption of vitamins and microelements.

Physiotherapy also has its contraindications. It is not recommended to perform manipulations in the acute form of the inflammatory process, urethritis, pelvic disease. An additional course of procedures is not prescribed for viral body lesions, chronic heart pathologies, HIV and fungal skin lesions. In other cases, treatment is recommended.

The duration of therapy is determined by the doctor. Some of them are recommended to be done every day, others weekly. Modern medicine offers a whole list of possible physiotherapy procedures:

1. UHF therapy. During the procedure, an electric field is applied to the tissues using special capacitor plates.

2. Electromagnetic field therapyultra high frequency.
3. Ultrasound treatment. They use high-frequency vibrations that the ear does not perceive.
4. Darsonvalization. The patient is exposed to a high-frequency pulse current.
5. Galvanization. A very effective method of physiotherapy, it occupies one of the first places among therapeutic and preventive procedures. During the session, a continuous current of low power and low voltage is used.
6. electrophoresiswith the use of medication. The complex procedure combines the effect on prostate tissue with direct current and pharmacological properties of drugs.
7. Magnetotherapy. Physiotherapy, in which the patient's body is exposed to a low-frequency magnetic field.
8. Laser therapy. Conducted low-intensity radiation to the focus of inflammation.
9. Therapeutic enema. The method involves introducing solutions based on medicinal herbs and vegetable oils into the patient's rectum.
10. Treatment in the bathroom. In case of prostatitis, seated water procedures are prescribed. Special medicines, herbal infusions and decoctions, essential oils are used as filling.

Physiotherapy procedures with the help of special devices are prescribed during a spa treatment or in a medical institution. Manipulations that can be performed without the participation of qualified medical personnel are performed independently at home.

Prostate massage

One of the most common methods of treatment and prevention of prostate disease. The method of mechanical stimulation of the prostate has been used in world medicine for more than 100 years. It still remains an effective treatment procedure.

The massage session is conducted by a specialist with medical education. There is an opinion that manipulations can be performed independently. However, due to the anatomical characteristics of the person and the position of his internal organs, this is impossible. The effect on the prostate should be of a therapeutic nature, and it should be carried out by a qualified healthcare professional.

Prostate massage helps not only with inflammatory processes. This is a good prevention of impotence and various erectile dysfunctions. Contraindications for performing manipulations are acute form of prostatitis, hemorrhoids, the presence of a malignant process in the prostate, abscess, pain during massage.

Phytotherapy

The duration of drug therapy depends on the complexity of the course of the disease. Folk methods based on the effect of herbal components can be used in the acute phase of the disease, as well as during the exacerbation of chronic prostatitis.

Recipes that have been tested for centuries do not have the same unique composition as synthetic drugs, but they can be no less effective. The use of herbal medicine as medicine is possible only after prior consultation with a doctor. The most common homemade recipes are:

1. Tea with honey. A simple and well-known snack has healing properties. It is recommended daily - at least 100 g of honey. The course of prostatitis treatment is 10 days.
2. Pumpkin seeds. This simple product is used as a source of zinc. You must eat a handful of seeds a day. Another way of use: grind peeled, unroasted pumpkin seeds in a meat grinder and mix with 200 grams of honey. Form walnut-sized balls from the resulting mixture. It is recommended to eat one scoop every day before meals.
3. Aspen bark tincture. 100 grams of crushed bark must be mixed with 1 glass of vodka and closed with a lid. Store for 2 weeks in a cool and dark place, then strain and take 20 drops three times a day before meals.

Surgical intervention

Surgery as a treatment for prostatitis is rarely used. This is not the most efficient method. Indications for an invasive procedure are the absence of a positive effect from taking drugs, folk remedies and physiotherapy. With the development of abscesses, serious inflammatory processes and urination disorders, as well as in the presence of neoplasms, surgical intervention is indicated. Despite the positive results after surgery, this type of treatment has serious contraindications:

• The man's advanced years. Regardless of the symptoms that appear, patients over 70 years old, due to the aging of the organism, will not be able to fully and quickly recover after surgery.
• The presence of chronic pathologies of the cardiovascular and bronchopulmonary systems of the body.
• Diabetes.
• The presence of serious inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system in an acute form.
• Respiratory viral infections.
• Blood clotting disorders.
• The need for long-term use of blood-thinning drugs.

Preventive measures

To prevent the development of prostatitis, you do not need to take drugs or use various folk methods. The most effective way to maintain your own health is prevention. It is enough to lead a healthy lifestyle and minimize risk factors.

1. Hypothermia should be avoided, it is a catalyst for starting the inflammatory process.
2. Proper nutrition or diet. It is important to maintain a balanced intake of all vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the body. At the same time, it is not necessary to implement a medical diet, it is enough not to abuse alcohol, fatty, fried, salty and smoked dishes.

3. Annual preventive examinations. Most men consider a visit to the doctor, without any reason, a waste of time. Prostatitis in the initial stage does not cause pronounced symptoms, therefore it is possible to determine the presence of an inflammatory process only as a result of examination and clinical studies.
4. Moderate physical activity. The male body is negatively affected by the complete absence of physical education or, conversely, exhausting training. To prevent prostatitis, it is enough to do sports 2-3 times a week.
5. If possible, it is recommended to avoid strong stress and nervous shocks.
6. Regular sex life. The complete absence of intimate relationships is highly undesirable. At the same time, excessive sexual activity contributes to the emergence of various sexually transmitted diseases, which is a catalyst for the development of prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a widespread disease that requires appropriate treatment. A modern approach to therapy offers a whole range of support for men's health. In severe forms of the disease, recovery can be delayed indefinitely. You should not delay a visit to the doctor, in the initial stage of the disease you can restore the normal functioning of the prostate and relieve unpleasant painful symptoms.
