This disease is one of the most common among male pathologies, which can be of different nature (acute pathology and slowness). This attack occurs for several reasons.
But, regardless of the causes of the pathologies, the patient must undergo complex treatment to treat such a disease in order to be cured of this disease without a trace.
Here, in the article, many aspects of this treatment are revealed, how effective its application is. Questions have also been asked about the new methods used by the medical profession.
How to treat acute prostatitis
This pathology is not difficult to diagnose. It has such characteristics that it is difficult to confuse: pain in the perineal area, discomfort when urinating. 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 status of the prostate. In case of symptoms of complex and acute poisoning, the patient should be referred to a hospital immediately. Milder forms of acute prostatitis can be treated in outpatients.
During treatment, complications sometimes occur, namely:
- the development of acute phase in years;
- purulent inflammation of the prostate.
Most of the time, with proper treatment, complete recovery occurs in a fairly short period of time with the use of early treatment. However, foci of growth of these tissues that can damage the organ can remain inside the gland. To determine if it is, it is possible to find out by performing a rectal ultrasound.
How to treat chronic prostatitis
The pathology usually develops without severe symptoms, sometimes for quite a long time, estimated over years. Perhaps the appearance of such symptoms:
- the appearance of increased urine production;
- pulling pain in the lower abdominal cavity
- dysfunction of the ejaculation process.
Treatment of this pathology is carried out with antibiotics for about 5-7 weeks. The course of complex treatment for prostatitis also includes the use of agents that stimulate tissue repair procedures and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Doctors in the band also prescribe alpha-blocking drugs that reduce prostate stimulation. Among the methods of physiotherapy, the most popular for this disease are microwave therapy sessions and muscle stimulation.
Treatment of asymptomatic chronic prostatitis
This type of pathology develops without showing signs. Many experts believe that asymptomatic prostatitis does not need urgent treatment.
As long as we do some preventive procedures. Prevention also means a proper diet, an active lifestyle, avoiding alcohol and taking vitamin supplements.
Complex treatment of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis
In the therapeutic complex for the treatment of this pathology, such means and methods are used as:
- antibacterial drugs
- various types of physiotherapy sessions.
- collection of herbs and different types of herbal preparations;
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
The signs of the pathology are very similar to the symptoms of ordinary prostatitis, a slow form.
The most relevant types of combination therapy today
The most popular types of combination therapy for prostatitis are:
- antibacterial complex
- anti-inflammatory drugs
- immune complex
- physiotherapy sessions
- massage treatments
- mode.
What are all the methods?
Anti-inflammatory treatment
The complex treatment program provides the use of various drugs that have anti-inflammatory action.
Basically, they are special tools, for example:
- candles with propolis (broad-spectrum drugs, suppress the inflammatory process, increase the body's immunity).
- ichthyol suppositories (used for slow forms of pathology, increase blood flow and have analgesic properties).
Antibacterial therapy
With this treatment, 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 drugs, if they were prescribed correctly. And there will be no further complications.
The main thing in this case is the right choice of antibacterial drugs. This takes into account how sensitive microorganisms are to this drug, the potential of the drug and the sensitivity of the patient's body to it.
The safety of the drug for the patient should be paramount when prescribing, especially if the drug is to be used for a long time. A number of antibacterial drugs are prescribed with obvious symptoms of infectious damage. In this case, the patient's body temperature rises, perineal pains appear.
Antibacterials from a range of macrolides are especially popular in modern medicine. These drugs have tissue penetration properties. This ability allows them to cross the tissue blocks in the prostate and enter directly into the foci of inflammation.
This treatment is usually carried out for two weeks, no more. If there is no improvement at the end of the course, then use of the product should be discontinued. If changes in effectiveness are noticeable, then treatment with the prescribed drug can be continued until complete healing has occurred.
Immunostimulatory therapy
In addition to the treatment methods previously described, doctors often prescribe immunostimulatory drugs, prostatitis drugs are cheap and effective. It should also be noted that the reduction of 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 the immunomodulatory factors. Such drugs in combination therapy are prescribed when various forms of pathology are detected. In most cases, drugs that have zinc in their chemical composition are prescribed. It is this element that has the ability to destroy harmful bacteria and viruses.
Immunostimulant herbal preparations are no less popular here. Among them, the preparation of Echinacea deserves special attention. There are treatments that are a combination of many plants.
They strengthen the body's immune forces. If the patient has a chronic type of pathology, antibacterial agents are included in the complex. Immunization drugs give the best results in a relatively short time.
In addition, they contribute to the consolidation of the results of the treatment of physicians and to the prevention of recurrence of the disease.
Sometimes it is better to use complex preparations containing vitamins and minerals, as well as herbal substances. Such funds help speed up the recovery process in the affected organs, enhancing the ability to resist any kind of infection.
Physiotherapy
It is equally important to use normal procedures in the prostatitis treatment complex. Such a treatment can aid in complex treatment and speed up the "work" of drugs, which ultimately affects the effectiveness of treatment.
The advantages of this treatment are the following:
- Physiotherapy improves lymph and blood circulation and this helps to quickly dissolve inflammatory infiltrates. The smooth flow of medicines is also ensured.
- Improved metabolic process has a positive effect on prostate repair.
- The permeability of the membrane cells facilitates the entry of drugs.
The most popular methods of physiotherapy are:
- Galvanizing sessions (low power DC).
- Electrostimulation processes (cause muscle contractions).
- UHF (high frequency electromagnetic field action).
- Microwaves (ultrasonic wave action);
- Magnetic therapy (low frequency current with a constant magnetic field).
Prostate massage
This procedure is also one of the physiotherapy treatments for prostatitis. In this case, different types of massage are used. According to experts, regular prostate massage sessions help to avoid stagnation in it, in improving the processes of removing prostate secretions. This procedure is contraindicated only when:
- Prostatitis is acute bacterial in nature (infection may become more prevalent).
- there were complications associated with anal pathologies.
Technique 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 position of the prostate and the causes of its dysfunction. Massage:
- accelerates the penetration of drugs into the prostate tissue.
- promotes increased blood flow.
- positively affects the muscles of the gland.
Surgery
Surgery may be necessary with the development of various complications of the pathology.
For example, such a problematic phenomenon is the formation of abscesses and foci of purulent inflammation, which can only be removed in this way. Surgical treatment is also necessary when there is an urgent need to restore the ability to urinate from the urethra with abrupt urinary retention that occurs when the urethra passes.
An operation is necessary even if irreversible procedures develop, for example, prostate hyperplasia. In this case, the surgical method of treatment is the most effective. With this, 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 different types of surgeries, the choice of which depends on many reasons determined by the doctor as a result of the examination.
Treatment with folk remedies
This method deserves special mention. Scientific medicine does not consider folk remedies to be effective and correct, although some of them are quite effective and do not cause complications. For example, pathologies can be performed using the well-known parsley.
Pour a liter of boiling water, put on fire and continue to cook over low heat for a third of an hour. You can use not only grass but also seeds. You can make a tincture from the seeds.
We must only remember 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 procedure can go unnoticed by the patient and "a nice day" suddenly manifests itself with acute inflammation or other problem.
For this reason it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive high-quality treatment, which includes:
- visit to a specialized 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 get rid of this disease completely and to have good health for many years.
