Prostatitis treatment scheme

Inflammation of the prostate gland is one of the most common diseases among men. In the early stages of development, the pathology does not cause obvious symptoms, which makes it difficult to diagnose. However, to maintain health, an appropriate prostatitis treatment regimen is required, which is selected by the attending physician individually, depending on clinical manifestations and test results.

The principles of correct 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. In fact, people over the age of 50 are more susceptible to this disease. However, statistics provided by experts show that young men also suffer from prostatitis.

At risk are residents of cold areas, especially with high humidity. Medical research shows that more than 35% of healthy men suffer from some form of inflammation of the prostate gland. And in the cold zone, 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 prostatitis treatment are most effective in the early stages of the disease. Medicine offers various forms of therapy and drug courses, focused on the treatment of any form of disease.

A new way to deal with prostatitis is a set of measures to restore health. This approach is due to the fact that there are several reasons that cause this disease. With the help of therapy, it is suggested to completely eliminate the source of infection, increase the blood supply to the prostate gland and strengthen the immune system.

Complex methods include several consecutive stages of prostatitis treatment:

• A comprehensive medical examination to identify the specific cause of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. For diagnosis, general blood tests and determination of PSA levels, ultrasound, examination of prostate secretion, ejaculation, and urine are used.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of individually selected drugs to destroy the focus of infection, which has been a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• Appointment of physiotherapy procedures as additional treatment.
• Prostate massage course. This procedure aims to improve prostate function and prevent erectile dysfunction.
• Adjustment of the nutritional system of patients with prostatitis. During treatment, a special diet is established. Alcoholic and caffeinated drinks, fatty, fried and spicy foods 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 doctor. Self-administration of strong drugs is unacceptable. It should also be understood that with the development of an infectious process in the body, treatment with drugs is required. 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. This is a whole range of drugs for prostatitis, which have the property to inhibit the growth and development of harmful microorganisms in 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 drug 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 the drug is appointed by the doctor after conducting a medical examination. This is a prerequisite for choosing the most effective treatment method. This is not to say that there are good antibiotics that best treat prostatitis. Therapy is selected based on the individual sensitivity of the bacteria to the drug. The groups of drugs widely used for treatment are presented in the table:

	Tetracycline	Penicillin	Fluoroquinolones	macrolides	Cephalosporins

Physiotherapy

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

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic area. The process of cellular metabolism and tissue regeneration is normalized.
• Lymph outflow is stimulated, which prevents congestion in the prostate gland and reduces inflammation.
• During treatment, the process of microcirculation in the prostate tissue is normalized. As a result, the flow of medicinal substances to the prostate and the removal of bacterial waste products are accelerated.
• Improves the excretion of prostate secretions, which reduces the possibility of the spread of bacterial infections.
• The permeability of cells and tissues increases, which leads to better absorption of vitamins and microelements.

Physiotherapy also has contraindications. It is not recommended to carry out manipulations in the acute form of the inflammatory process, urethritis, small pelvic diseases. The course of additional procedures is not prescribed for viral lesions of the body, chronic heart pathology, HIV and fungal skin lesions. In other cases, it is recommended to carry out treatment sessions.

The duration of the therapy course 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 tissue using a special capacitor plate.

2. Electromagnetic field therapyultra high frequency.
3. Ultrasound treatment. High frequency vibrations are used, which cannot be seen by the ear.
4. Darsonvalization. The patient is exposed to high frequency pulsed current.
5. Galvanization. A very effective method of physiotherapy, it occupies one of the first places among therapeutic and preventive procedures. During the session, constant current of small strength and low voltage is used.
6. electrophoresiswith the use of drugs. The complex procedure combines the effect on the prostate tissue with direct current and the pharmacological properties of the drug.
7. Magnetotherapy. Physiotherapy, where the patient's body is exposed to a low frequency magnetic field.
8. Laser therapy. Conduct low-intensity radiation on the focus of inflammation.
9. Therapeutic enema. This method involves the introduction of a solution based on medicinal herbs and vegetable oils into the patient's rectum.
10. Bath treatment. With prostatitis, a sedentary water procedure is prescribed. Special medicines, herbal infusions and decoctions, essential oils are used as fillings.

Physiotherapy procedures using special devices are prescribed during spa treatments or in medical facilities. Manipulations that can be performed without the participation of qualified medical personnel are carried out 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. And it still remains an effective treatment procedure.

Massage sessions are conducted by specialists with medical education. There is an opinion that manipulation can be done independently. However, due to the anatomical features of a person and the location of his internal organs, this is impossible. Effects on the prostate gland should be therapeutic, and carried out by qualified health workers.

Prostate massage helps not only with the inflammatory process. This is a good prevention against impotence and various erectile dysfunctions. Contraindications to manipulation are acute forms of prostatitis, hemorrhoids, the presence of malignant processes in the prostate gland, abscesses, pain during massage.

Phytotherapy

The duration of therapy 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 can be no less effective. It is possible to use herbal medicine as a means of treatment only after consulting a doctor first. The most common homemade recipes are:

1. Tea with honey. A simple and common snack has healing properties. A day is recommended - at least 100 g 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 should eat a handful of seeds every day. Another way to use it: grind peeled and unbaked pumpkin seeds in a meat grinder and mix with 200 grams of honey. From the resulting mixture, form balls the size of walnuts. It is recommended to eat one ball every day before meals.
3. Aspen skin color. 100 grams of crushed bark must be mixed with 1 glass of vodka and covered 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 effective method. An indication for an invasive procedure is the absence of a positive effect from the drugs taken, folk remedies and physiotherapy. With the development of abscesses, serious inflammatory processes and urinary disorders, as well as with the presence of neoplasms, surgical intervention is indicated. Despite the positive results after surgery, this type of treatment has serious contraindications:

• The old man. Regardless of the symptoms shown, patients over 70 years old, 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 serious inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system in acute form.
• Respiratory viral infection.
• 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 medicine 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 should be avoided, it is a catalyst to start the inflammatory process.
2. Proper nutrition or diet. It is important to maintain a balanced intake of all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the body. At the same time, it is not necessary to carry out a medical diet, it is enough not to abuse alcohol, fatty dishes, fried, salty and smoke.

3. Annual preventive examination. Most men consider a visit to the doctor, for no apparent reason, a waste of time. Prostatitis in the early stages does not cause obvious 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, on the contrary, exhausting training. To avoid prostatitis, it is enough to play sports 2-3 times a week.
5. If possible, it is recommended to avoid severe stress and nervous shock.
6. Fixed sex life. A complete absence of intimate contact is highly undesirable. At the same time, excessive sexual activity contributes to the appearance of various sexually transmitted diseases, which is a catalyst for the development of prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a widespread disease that requires appropriate treatment. Modern approaches to therapy offer a variety of support for men's health. In severe forms of the disease, recovery can be delayed for an indefinite period of time. You should not delay a visit to the doctor, in the early stages of the disease, you can restore the normal function of the prostate gland and relieve unpleasant painful symptoms.
