The scheme of treatment for prostatitis

Inflammation of the prostate is one of the most common diseases in men. At the initial stage of development, the pathology does not cause obvious symptoms, which makes it difficult to diagnose. However, in order to maintain health, an appropriate treatment regimen for the treatment of prostatitis is necessary, which is selected by the attending physician individually, depending on the clinical manifestations and test results.

Principles of the correct treatment of prostatitis

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

Residents of cold regions, especially with high humidity, are at risk. Medical research suggests that over 35% of able-bodied men suffer from some form of prostate inflammation. And in cold areas, the figure exceeds 70% and has no age limit.

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

New ways to treat prostatitis are a set of measures aimed at restoring 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 proposed to completely eliminate the source of infection, improve blood supply to the prostate, and strengthen the immune system.

The complex method includes several successive stages of treatment of prostatitis:

• A thorough medical examination to identify the specific causes of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. For diagnosis, a general blood test and determination of the level of PSA, ultrasound, examination of prostate secretion, ejaculate and urine are used.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of individually selected drugs to destroy the focus of infection, which has become a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• The appointment of physiotherapy procedures as an additional treatment.
• Prostate massage course. The procedure aims to improve prostate function and prevent erectile dysfunction.
• Adjustment of the nutritional system of the patient with prostatitis. During treatment, a special diet is established. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, fatty, fried and spicy foods are prohibited.
• Immunity is strengthened with the help of a complex of vitamins and minerals, homemade stimulants and dietary supplements.

Health care

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

Antibacterial drugs

As a method of treating inflammation caused by bacterial infection, various drugs with antibacterial properties are used. These are a whole range of drugs for prostatitis, which have the properties of preventing the growth and development of harmful microorganisms inside the human body.

By 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. The second type of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis is based on the principle of disrupting protein synthesis and stopping the growth of harmful bacteria.

Types of Antibiotics

The reception of drugs is fixed by the doctor after conducting medical tests. This is a prerequisite for choosing the most effective treatment method. 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 that are widely used for treatment are presented in the table:

	Tetracyclines	Penicillins	Fluoroquinolones	macrolides	Cephalosporins
Ureaplasma	+		+	+
Mycoplasma	+		+	+
Chlamydia	+		+	+
Gonococci		+	+	+	+
Enterobacteriaceae	+	+			+
Enterococci	+	+
Klebsiella	+	+	+		+
Protea		+	+		+

Physiotherapy

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

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic region. The processes of cell metabolism and tissue regeneration are normalized.
• The outflow of lymph is stimulated, which prevents prostate congestion and reduces inflammation.
• During treatment, the process of microcirculation inside the tissues of the prostate is normalized. As a result, the conduction of medicinal substances to the prostate and the elimination of bacterial waste are accelerated.
• Improves the excretion of prostate secretion, 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 carry out manipulations in the acute form of the inflammatory process, urethritis, diseases of the small pelvis. An additional course of procedures is not prescribed for viral lesions of the body, chronic heart pathologies, HIV and fungal skin lesions. In other cases, it is recommended to carry out treatment sessions.

The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor. Some of them are recommended to be done daily, 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. Therapy with an electromagnetic fieldultra high frequency.
3. Ultrasound treatment. High frequency vibrations are used, which are not perceived by the ear.
4. Darsonvalization. The patient is exposed to a high frequency pulsed current.
5. Galvanization. Very effective method of physiotherapy, it occupies one of the first places among the therapeutic and preventive acts. During the session, a direct current of low intensity and low voltage is used.
6. electrophoresiswith the use of drugs. A complex procedure combines the effect on prostate tissue with direct current and the pharmacological properties of drugs.
7. Magnetotherapy. Physiotherapy, in which the patient's body is exposed to a low-frequency magnetic field.
8. Laser therapy. Low-intensity radiation leads to the focus of inflammation.
9. Therapeutic enemas. The method involves introducing solutions based on medicinal herbs and vegetable oils into the patient's rectum.
10. bath treatment. With prostatitis, sedentary water procedures are prescribed. Special medicines, herbal infusions and decoctions, essential oils are used as a filling.

Physiotherapy procedures using special devices are prescribed during spa treatment or in a medical institution. Manipulations that can be carried out without the participation of qualified medical personnel are carried out at home on their own.

prostate massage

One of the most common methods of treatment and prevention of prostate diseases. The method of mechanical prostate stimulation has been used in world medicine for over 100 years. And it still remains an effective treatment procedure.

The massage session is performed by a specialist with medical training. There is an opinion that manipulations can be carried out independently. However, due to the anatomical features of a person and the location of his internal organs, this is impossible. The impact on the prostate must be therapeutic in nature and carried out by a qualified health worker.

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

Phytotherapy

The duration of treatment with the use of drugs depends on the complexity of the course of the disease. Folk methods based on the effects of plant components can be used in the acute stage of the disease, as well as during exacerbation of chronic prostatitis.

Recipes that have been tested for centuries do not have the same unique composition as synthetic drugs, but cannot be less effective. It is possible to use herbal medicine as a means of treatment only after preliminary consultation with a doctor. The most common homemade recipes are:

1. Honey tea. A simple and familiar snack has healing properties. A day is recommended - at least 100 g of honey. The duration of treatment for prostatitis is 10 days.
2. Pumpkin seeds. This simple product is used as a source of zinc. You should eat a handful of seeds daily. Another way to use them: twist the peeled and unroasted pumpkin seeds in a meat grinder and mix them with 200 grams of honey. From the resulting mixture, form balls the size of a walnut. It is recommended to eat one scoop a day before meals.
3. Aspen bark tincture. 100 grams of crushed bark should be mixed with 1 glass of vodka and closed with a lid. Store for 2 weeks in a cool, 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 lack of a positive effect of the drugs taken, folk remedies and physiotherapy. With the development of abscesses, severe 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 advanced age of man. Regardless of the symptoms manifested, patients over 70 years of age, due to the aging of the body, 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 severe inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system in acute form.
• Respiratory viral infections.
• Blood clotting disorders.
• The need for long-term use of drugs that thin the blood.

Preventive measures

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

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

3. Annual preventive examinations. Most men view a visit to the doctor for no apparent reason as 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 examinations and clinical studies.
4. Moderate physical activity. The male body is negatively affected by the complete lack of physical education or, conversely, exhausting workouts. To prevent prostatitis, it is enough to play sports 2-3 times a week.
5. If possible, it is recommended to avoid severe 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 are a catalyst for the development of prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a widespread disease that requires proper treatment. A modern approach to therapy offers a full range of support for men's health. In severe forms of the disease, healing may be delayed for an indefinite period. You should not postpone a visit to the doctor, at the initial stage of the disease you can restore the normal functioning of the prostate gland and relieve unpleasant painful symptoms.
