This pathology is one of the most common male pathologies, which can have a different nature (acute and physical pathology). This attack appears for many reasons.
But regardless of the cause of the pathology, the patient must undergo complex therapy to treat such a disease in order to cure the disease without leaving a trace.
Here, in the article, many aspects of such therapy are revealed, how effective its application is. Questions have also been raised about the new methods used by the medical industry.
How to treat acute prostatitis
This pathology is not difficult to diagnose. It has unmistakable features: perineal soreness, discomfort when urinating. Treatment of an acute type of pathology includes drug treatment with an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory complex.
Ultrasound examination allows you to determine the size and biological state of the prostate gland. In the event of signs of acute and complicated toxicity, the patient should be immediately referred to a hospital. Milder forms of acute prostatitis can be treated outpatiently.
During treatment, a number of complications sometimes arise, which are:
- the development of an acute period into a chronic period;
- purulent prostatitis.
Usually, with proper treatment, full recovery occurs in a fairly short period of time with timely therapy use. However, growth foci of tissues that could damage an organ may remain inside the gland. To determine whether they are or not, it can be found out by performing a transrectal ultrasound.
How to treat chronic prostatitis
Pathology usually develops without obvious symptoms, sometimes over a rather long period, in years. Perhaps the appearance of such symptoms:
- the appearance of increased urine output;
- pulling pain in the lower abdominal cavity;
- dysfunction of the ejaculation process.
The treatment of this pathology is carried out with antibiotics for about 5-7 weeks. The complex course of treatment for prostatitis also includes the use of tissue repair stimulants and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Doctors in the complex also prescribe alpha-blockers that reduce prostate irritation. Among the methods of physical therapy, the most popular for this disease are microwave therapies and muscle stimulation.
Treatment of asymptomatic chronic prostatitis
This type of pathology develops without signs. Many experts believe that asymptomatic prostatitis does not require urgent treatment.
It is enough to perform some preventive procedures. Prevention also includes a proper diet, an active lifestyle, avoiding alcohol and taking vitamin preparations.
Complex treatment for non-bacterial chronic prostatitis
In the therapeutic complex for the treatment of this pathology, such means and methods are used such as:
- antibacterial drugs;
- sessions of various types of physical therapy;
- collection of various herbs and plant preparations;
- Anti-inflammatory therapy.
Pathological signs are very similar to the symptoms of conventional prostatitis, lethargic form.
The most relevant complex treatment types available today
The most common types of complex therapies for prostatitis are:
- antibacterial complexes;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- immune complexes;
- physiotherapy sessions;
- massage therapies;
- work.
What is each method?
Anti-inflammatory therapy
The complex healing process offers the use of different drugs with anti-inflammatory effects.
They are basically special tools, for example:
- candles with propolis (broad spectrum drug, suppresses inflammatory processes, increases the immunity of the body);
- Suppositories with ichthyol (used for slow pathological forms, increase blood flow and have analgesic properties).
Antimicrobial therapy
With this therapy, antibiotics are used. They are considered to be the basis of the whole complex of treatment in all these pathological cases, especially in acute prostatitis. This type of prostatitis can be completely cured with the use of such drugs, if they are prescribed correctly. And there will be no more complications.
The main thing in this case is the correct choice of the antimicrobial drug. This takes into account the sensitivity of microorganisms to this drug, the ability of the drug and the patient's sensitivity to this drug.
The safety of drugs for patients must be first of all when prescribing, especially when using drugs 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 increases, and pain in the episiotomy appears.
Antimicrobial agents from certain macrolides are particularly common in modern medicine. These drugs have tissue-penetrating properties. This ability allows them to overcome tissue barriers in the prostate gland and into the inflammatory foci.
Such treatment is carried out, as a rule, for two weeks, not more. If there is no improvement at the end of the course, the product should be discontinued. If there is a change in effectiveness, treatment with prescribed medication can be continued until complete healing.
Immunostimulating therapy
In addition to the previously described therapies, doctors are often prescribed immunostimulants, which are inexpensive and effective prostatitis drugs. It should also be noted that a decrease in the body's immunity or protective functions of individual organs rapidly leads to the development of bacterial prostatitis.
Therefore, it is not acceptable to forget about immunomodulators. Such drugs in complex therapy are prescribed when different forms of pathology are detected. In most cases, prescription drugs have zinc in their chemical composition. This element is capable of destroying harmful bacteria and viruses.
Herbal immunostimulating preparations are equally popular here. Among them, the preparation of Echinacea deserves special attention. There are remedies that are a combination of several plants.
They well strengthen the body's immune forces. If the patient has a chronic type of pathology, antibacterial agents are included in the complex. Immunotherapy gives the best results in a relatively short time.
Moreover, they contribute to strengthening the results of treatment by pathologists and preventing disease recurrence.
It is sometimes advisable to use complex preparations containing vitamins and minerals, as well as herbal substances. Such funds help accelerate the recovery process in the affected organs, enhancing resistance to all types of infection.
Physical therapy
Equally important is the use of physiological procedures in the treatment complex for prostatitis. Such therapy can complicate the treatment and speed up the "work" of the drug, which ultimately affects the effectiveness of the treatment.
The advantages of this therapy are the following:
- Physiotherapy improves the circulation of lymph and blood, and this helps to dissolve foci of inflammation rapidly. Unobstructed drug flow is also guaranteed.
- The improved metabolism has a positive effect on prostate recovery.
- The permeability of the membrane cells allows the drug to penetrate.
The most "popular" methods of physical therapy are:
- Plating session (low power direct current);
- Electrical stimulation procedures (causing muscle contractions);
- UHF (high frequency electromagnetic field activity);
- Microwave (ultra-short wave activity);
- Magnetic field therapy (low-frequency currents with a constant magnetic field).
Massage the prostate gland
This procedure is also one of the most widely used physical treatments for prostatitis. In this case, several types of massage are used. According to experts, regular massage of the prostate gland helps to avoid a stagnation in it, improves the process of removing secretions of the prostate gland. This procedure is contraindicated only when:
- prostatitis of an acute bacterial nature (infection can become more widespread);
- have had complications related to the pathology of the anus.
The technique of performing this type of massage
Treatment sessions should only be carried out by a highly qualified specialist - a urologist or a male doctor. This requirement is necessary to avoid harm. For the procedure, it is necessary to clearly know the location of the prostate gland and the source of its breakdown. Massage:
- speed up the penetration of the drug into the prostate tissue;
- promote increased blood flow;
- positively affects the muscles of the gland.
Surgical intervention
Surgical action may be necessary with the development of various complications of the pathology.
For example, such a problematic phenomenon is the formation of abscesses and purulent inflammatory foci, which can only be eliminated in this way. Surgical treatment is also needed when there is an urgent need to restore the ability to drain urine out of the urethra with a sharp urinary retention that occurs when the segment of the urethra is narrowed.
A surgery is indispensable even in cases when irreversible processes develop, for example, prostate hyperplasia. In this case, surgical treatment is most effective. With it, the size of the tumor and signs of the pathology decrease.
This method can cause side complications, although most male patients do not have any specific health problems. In modern medicine, there are several types of surgery, the choice of which type of surgery depends on many causes determined by the doctor after the examination.
Treatment with folk remedies
This method has distinct highlighting value. 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 famous parsley.
It is poured with a liter of boiling water, put on a fire and continued to cook over slow flame for a third of an hour. You can not only use grass, but also seeds. You can make seed alcohol.
Just remember that prostatitis is a serious medical condition. It will not disappear with the wave of a magic wand. Even with the disappearance of the obvious symptoms of the pathology, the process may go unnoticed to the patient, and "one fine day" suddenly manifests evidence of acute inflammation or problems. other.
For this reason it is necessary to undergo a high-quality comprehensive treatment course, including:
- visit with a specialist with a high level of expertise and experience;
- It is necessary to strictly adhere to the treatment course prescribed by the doctor.
Only with complete treatment of prostatitis, then it is possible to completely cure this disease and achieve long-lasting health for many years.
