This disease is one of the most frequent among male pathologies, which can be of a different nature (acute and lazy pathology). This attack appears for various reasons.
But regardless of the causes of pathologies, the patient must undergo complex therapy for the treatment of such a disease in order to cure this disease without leaving a trace.
Here in the article many aspects of such therapy are disclosed, how effective its application is. Questions were also raised about the new methods used by the medical profession.
How to treat acute prostatitis
This pathology is not difficult to diagnose. It has characteristics that are difficult to confuse: pain in the perineal region, 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 condition of the prostate. In the event of signs of complex and acute poisoning, the patient should be referred to hospital immediately. Milder forms of acute prostatitis can be treated on an outpatient basis.
During the treatment, certain complications sometimes arise, namely:
- the development of an acute stage into a chronic stage;
- purulent inflammation of the prostate.
Most often, with proper treatment, complete recovery occurs within a fairly short period of time with the use of timely treatment. However, foci of growth of these tissues which can damage the organ may remain inside the gland. To determine if they are, it is possible to find out by doing a transrectal ultrasound.
How to treat chronic prostatitis
Pathology usually develops without pronounced symptoms, sometimes for a fairly long period, calculated in years. Perhaps the appearance of such symptoms:
- the appearance of increased urine output;
- tightness 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 complex treatment of prostatitis also includes the use of agents that stimulate tissue repair processes and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Doctors at the complex also prescribe alpha-blocker drugs that reduce excitement in the prostate. Among the physiotherapy methods, the most popular for this disease are sessions of microwave therapy and myostimulation.
Treatment of chronic asymptomatic prostatitis
This type of pathology develops without showing any signs. Many experts believe that asymptomatic prostatitis does not require urgent treatment.
It is enough to carry out certain preventive procedures. Prevention also involves a good diet, an active lifestyle, avoiding alcohol and taking vitamin preparations.
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;
- sessions of various types of physiotherapy;
- collection of herbs and different types of phytopreparations;
- Anti-inflammatory therapy.
The signs of pathology are very similar to the symptoms of ordinary prostatitis, a slow form.
The most relevant types of complex treatments today
The most popular types of complex therapy for prostatitis are:
- antibacterial complex;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- immune complex;
- physiotherapy sessions;
- massage treatments;
- surgery.
What are each of the methods?
Anti-inflammatory therapy
The course of complex healing provides for the use of various drugs with anti-inflammatory effect.
Basically these are special tools, for example:
- propolis candles (broad-spectrum drugs, suppress the inflammatory process, increase the body's immunity);
- suppositories with ichthyol (used for slow forms of pathology, increase blood circulation and have analgesic properties).
Antibacterial therapy
With this therapy, antibiotics are used. They are considered the basis of the whole complex treatment 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 have been prescribed correctly. And there will be no more complications.
The main thing in this case is the correct selection of antibacterial drugs. This takes into account the sensitivity of microorganisms to this drug, the capabilities of the drug, and the sensitivity of the patient's body to it.
Safety of the drug for the patient should be the main thing when prescribing it, especially if the drug is to be used for a long time. Antibacterial therapy is prescribed with obvious symptoms of an infectious lesion. In this case, the patient's body temperature rises, pain in the perineum appears.
Antibacterial agents of a number of macrolides are especially popular in modern medicine. These drugs have tissue penetrating properties. This ability allows them to overcome the tissue barriers of the prostate and directly enter the foci of inflammation.
Such treatment is carried out, as a rule, for two weeks, no more. In the absence of any improvement at the end of the course, then the use of the product should be discontinued. If changes to effectiveness are noticeable, treatment with the prescribed medication can be continued until complete recovery occurs.
Immunostimulatory therapy
In addition to the previously described healing methods, doctors are often prescribed immunostimulatory drugs, drugs for prostatitis are inexpensive and effective. It should also be noted that a decrease in the immunity of the body or the protective function of individual organs quickly leads to the development of bacterial forms of prostatitis.
Therefore, it is unacceptable to forget about immunomodulatory agents. These drugs in complex therapy are prescribed when various forms of pathology are detected. In most cases, drugs with zinc in the chemical composition are prescribed. It is this element that has the ability to destroy harmful bacteria and viruses.
Immunostimulating herbal preparations are no less popular here. Among them, the preparation of echinacea deserves special attention. There are remedies which are a combination of several plants.
They strengthen the immune forces of the body well. If the patient has any type of chronic pathology, antibacterial agents are included in the complex. Immune drugs give the best results in a relatively short time.
In addition, they contribute to the consolidation of the results of the treatment of pathologists and prevent relapse of the disease.
Sometimes it is more advisable to use complex preparations containing vitamins and minerals, as well as herbal substances. These funds help to accelerate the recovery processes in the affected organs, improve the ability to resist all kinds of infections.
Physiotherapy
It is also important to use physiological procedures in the complex of therapy of prostatitis. Such therapy can help in complex treatment and speed up the "work" of drugs, which ultimately affects the effectiveness of treatment.
The advantages of such therapy are the following:
- Physiotherapy improves the circulation of lymph and blood, which helps to quickly dissolve inflammatory infiltrates. The unhindered circulation of drugs is also ensured.
- Improving the metabolic process has a positive effect on the restoration of the prostate.
- The permeability of membrane cells facilitates the penetration of drugs.
The most "popular" physiotherapy methods are:
- Galvanizing sessions (low power direct current);
- Electrostimulation procedures (cause muscle contractions);
- UHF (action of a high frequency electromagnetic field);
- Microwave (ultra-short wave action);
- Magnetotherapy (low frequency current with constant magnetic field).
Prostate massage (prostate)
This procedure is also one of the physiotherapy treatments for prostatitis. In this case, several types of massage are used. According to experts, regular sessions of prostate massage help to avoid stagnation, improve the processes of removing secretions from the prostate. This procedure is contraindicated only when:
- prostatitis is acute bacterial in nature (infection may become more widespread);
- there were complications associated with pathologies of the anus.
Technique for performing this type of massage
Sessions should only be performed by a highly qualified professional - urologist or andrologist. This requirement is necessary to avoid any damage. For the procedure, it is necessary to clearly know the location of the prostate and the origins of its dysfunction. Massage:
- accelerates the penetration of drugs into the prostate tissue;
- promotes increased blood flow;
- positively affects the muscles of the gland.
Surgical intervention
Surgical treatment may be required 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 urethral canal's ability to urinate with strong urinary retention that occurs when the urethral passage is narrowed.
An operation is essential even in the event that irreversible processes develop, for example, prostatic hyperplasia. In this case, the surgical method of treatment is the most effective. With him, the size of the tumor and signs of pathology decrease.
This method can lead to secondary complications, although most male patients do not have any particular health problems. In modern medicine, there are several types of surgical operations, 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 to be highlighted separately. Folk remedies are not considered effective and correct in scientific medicine, although some of them are quite effective and do not lead to complications. For example, pathologies can be carried out with the help of the well-known parsley.
It is poured with a liter of boiling water, put on fire and continue to cook on 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 not forget that prostatitis is a serious pathology. He will not disappear with the wave of a magic wand. Even with the disappearance of obvious symptoms of pathology, the process may go unnoticed by the patient, and "one fine day" suddenly manifests itself as acute inflammation or some other problem.
It is for this reason that it is necessary to undergo a comprehensive high-quality treatment, which includes:
- visit to a highly qualified and experienced specialist;
- it is necessary to strictly follow the course of treatment that the doctor will prescribe.
Only with the complex treatment of prostatitis, it is possible to completely get rid of this disease and be healthy for many years.
