According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of productive age are by no means happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to a certain delicacy of the pathology, most of the patients turn to a specialist only if the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate everyday life.
A timely visit to the doctor and the beginning of treatment at an early stage will help get rid of prostatitis faster.
It is possible to cure the disease quickly and with the use of minimal therapy only in the early stages of development, when there are virtually no symptoms. If the treatment is not done in time, the complete elimination of prostatitis can take a long time and require the use of complex therapy. Modern methods include the use not only of drugs, but also other ways to eliminate the unpleasant disease.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis include the use of not only medication but also physiotherapy. In addition, the patient needs to make some adjustments in diet and daily routine. These measures are necessary not only to eliminate the main symptoms of the disease, but also to prevent its recurrence.
Depending on the stage of the disease, its course, concomitant diseases, as well as some individual characteristics of the patient, specialists may apply conservative or surgical treatment.
- The conservative method involves treating the disease in men using the most common methods. These can be medications, some methods of physiotherapy, daily routine and nutrition. The use of a conservative method is allowed both in the early stages of the disease and for the treatment of its chronic and acute forms.
- If the disease is in an advanced form, ie the pathogenic tissues of the prostate are almost completely replaced by healthy ones, and the gland does not function properly, an operative method of treatment is used. It involves surgery to remove pathological neoplasms and restore prostate function completely or partially. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment with drugs such as drugs and physiotherapy does not bring visible results and there is no positive dynamics.
Medical therapy
As the name suggests, drug therapy is the treatment of prostatitis, as well as a number of other diseases of the genital area in men, by taking drugs. Currently, there are many drugs that allow not only to eliminate inflammatory processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative effects of antibiotics, as well as to fully restore productive function.
Modern drugs, which are most often used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men, are grouped into several main groups, each of which suggests one or another effect on the body. For example:
- A characteristic feature of prostatitis is the following aspect: most often the disease develops against the background of the presence of congestion occurring in the pelvic area. Their appearance is due to deterioration of blood and lymph flow, which is the result of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relationships, etc. In view of this, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men are used drugs that restore blood circulation andeliminate pathogenic phenomena.
- Antibacterial drugs. If the disease is the result of an infection of the body, ie prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, its treatment in men includes taking antibiotics aimed at eliminating pathogens and restoring the microflora characteristic of the body.
- Problems with urination in men, manifested by the appearance of pain in the bladder, are also due to the spread of the inflammatory process, against the background of which there is a systemic spasm of the muscles of the urinary system, which causes pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern drugs are used that effectively eliminate spasms, relax muscles and thus relieve discomfort.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is the result of a change in the hormonal background, during treatment, drugs are used whose action is aimed at restoring and normalizing hormone levels.
- Typical symptoms of prostatitis are soreness, burning sensation and itching in the prostate area. To eliminate the negative signs of the disease in men, topical preparations are used, which have a calming, healing and regenerating effect on the tissues.
Prostate massage
Prostate massage can be applied to modern methods of treatment of both prostatitis and a number of other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that for direct physical impact on the prostate area are used and various devices and apparatus, the action of which is based on the emission of magnetic waves. Although, frankly, it should be noted that the most common practice is palpation of the prostate.
Massage is one of the most effective methods for treating diseases of the productive system. It allows you to effectively eliminate stagnant phenomena, restore blood circulation and reduce inflammation. In addition, only with the help of massage it is possible to remove pus and secretions accumulated during the disease of the prostate gland.
However, the use of this method is unacceptable in acute forms of the disease.
Physiotherapy
Almost all methods of treating prostatitis through physiotherapy are modern. The following are most often used in general medical practice:
- laser therapy. The impact on the affected organs and tissues of the laser radiation allows you to quickly eliminate inflammatory processes and reduce discomfort. In addition, there is a process of activating tissue regeneration, as well as restoring blood circulation.
- Magnetic therapy. Currently, this method of treatment is widely used. This type of procedure involves exposure of the patient's tissues to a magnetic field, which restores blood circulation and lymph flow, improves the adsorption of active substances in organs and tissues contained in the patient's prescribed drugs for the treatment of prostatitis.
- Microwave - therapy whose action is based on thermal exposure. This method contributes to the regeneration and recovery of tissues, can significantly reduce pain and contributes to the fact that the body better absorbs the drugs taken.
There are other physiotherapeutic methods that are not used in modern medical practice. Accordingly, their use is possible only in accordance with the personal initiative of the patient. These include acupuncture, treatment with leeches, treatment with healing wraps, herbal medicine.
Additional methods
At present, almost every specialist knows that eliminating the main symptoms of both prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genital area will not lead to tangible results in the absence of such measures as daily routine and nutrition.
Due to the fact that the disease usually occurs against the background of characteristic stagnant phenomena, for prevention and treatment it is necessary to eliminate this pathology and restore blood and lymph flow. To do this, the patient must perform a daily set of exercises that will strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of loads, systemic physical overload can have the opposite effect, ie provoke the negative phenomena of stagnation. Accordingly, when choosing exercises it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
