Prostatitis treatment scheme

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

Principles of proper treatment of prostatitis

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

At risk are residents of cold regions, especially high humidity. Medical studies show that more than 35% of able-bodied men suffer from some form of inflammation of the prostate gland. In cold zones, this figure exceeds 70% and there is no age limit.

It should be understood that alarming symptoms should not be ignored and annual medical examinations should not be neglected. Modern methods of treatment of prostatitis are most effective in the early stages of the disease. Medicine offers various forms of therapy and drug courses aimed at treating any disease.

New ways to fight prostatitis are a complex of measures to restore 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 gland and strengthen the immune system.

The complex method includes several successive stages of prostatitis treatment:

• A comprehensive medical examination to determine the specific causes of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. General blood test and determination of PSA level, ultrasound, examination of prostate secretion, ejaculation and urine are used for diagnosis.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of individually selected drugs to destroy the source of infection, which has become a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• Appointment of physiotherapy procedures as additional treatment.
• Prostate massage course. The procedure aims to improve the function of the prostate and prevent erectile disorders.
• Regulation of the nutritional system of a patient with prostatitis. A special diet is established during treatment. Alcoholic and caffeinated drinks, fatty, fried and spicy foods are prohibited.
• Immunity is strengthened with the help of a complex of vitamins and minerals, home stimulants and dietary supplements.

Healthcare

Treatment of prostatitis should be carried out only by a qualified doctor. Self-administration of strong drugs is unacceptable. It is also necessary to understand 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 treatment of inflammation caused by bacterial infection, various drugs with antibacterial properties are used. This is a whole range of drugs for prostatitis, which have properties that prevent the growth and development of harmful microorganisms in the human body.

According to the pharmaceutical activity, drugs are divided into two categories: bactericidal and bacteriostatic effect. 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

Medicines are prescribed by a doctor after medical examinations. This is a prerequisite for choosing the most effective treatment method. This is not to say that a good antibiotic is the best treatment for prostatitis. Therapy is selected based on the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug. The drug groups widely used for treatment are presented in the table:

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

Physiotherapy

Additional procedures are prescribed based on the results of the medical examination and the established diagnosis. It is a component of the complex treatment of patients with inflammation of the prostate gland. In the treatment of prostatitis, manipulations are used to enhance the effect of medication.

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic area. Cell metabolism and tissue regeneration processes are normalized.
• Lymph flow is stimulated, which prevents congestion in the prostate gland and reduces inflammation.
• During treatment, the process of microcirculation within the tissues of the prostate gland is normalized. As a result, the transfer of drugs to the prostate and the elimination of bacterial waste are accelerated.
• It improves the secretion of prostate secretion, which reduces the possibility of further spread of bacterial infection.
• The permeability of cells and tissues increases, which leads to better absorption of vitamins and trace elements.

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

The duration of the treatment course is determined by the doctor. Some of them are recommended to be done daily, while others are recommended to be done weekly. Modern medicine provides a complete list of possible physiotherapy procedures:

1. UHF therapy. During the procedure, an electric field is applied to the tissues using special capacitor plates.

2. Electromagnetic field therapyultra high frequency.
3. Ultrasound treatment. It uses high-frequency vibrations that are not perceived by the ear.
4. Darsonvalization. The patient is exposed to a high-frequency pulse current.
5. Galvanization. A very effective method of physiotherapy takes one of the first places among curative and preventive procedures. During the session, a small strong and low voltage direct current is used.
6. electrophoresiswith the use of drugs. A complex procedure combines the effect on prostate tissue with direct current and 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 is performed in the center 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. Sedentary water procedures are prescribed for prostatitis. Special drugs, herbal infusions and decoctions, and essential oils are used as fillings.

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

Prostate massage

It is one of the most widespread methods of treatment and prevention of prostate gland diseases. 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.

The massage session is performed by a medically trained specialist. There is an opinion that manipulations can be carried out independently. However, this is impossible due to the anatomical features of the person and the location of his internal organs. The effect on the prostate gland should be therapeutic and performed by a qualified medical practitioner.

Prostate massage does not only help inflammatory processes. This is a good prevention of impotence and various erectile dysfunctions. Contraindications to manipulations are the acute form of prostatitis, hemorrhoids, the presence of a malignant process in the prostate gland, abscess, 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 effect 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 they are no less effective. It is possible to use herbal medicine as a treatment only after prior consultation with the doctor. The most common home recipes are:

1. Tea with honey. A simple and familiar snack has healing properties. A day is recommended - at least 100 g of honey. The treatment course of prostatitis is 10 days.
2. Pumpkin seeds. This simple product is used as a source of zinc. Eat a handful of seeds every day. Another way to use them: grind peeled, unroasted pumpkin seeds in a meat grinder and mix with 200 grams of honey. We form walnut-sized balls from the resulting mixture. It is recommended to eat one ball before meals every day.
3. Tincture of aspen bark. 100 grams of crushed bark should be mixed with 1 glass of vodka and closed with a lid. Store in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, then filter and take 20 drops three times a day before meals.

Surgical intervention

Surgery is rarely used to treat prostatitis. This is not the most effective method. Indications for an invasive procedure are the absence of a positive effect of drugs, folk remedies and physiotherapy. With the development of abscesses, serious inflammatory processes and urinary disorders, as well as the presence of neoplasms, surgical intervention is indicated. Despite the positive results after surgery, this type of treatment has serious contraindications:

• Male aging. Regardless of the manifested symptoms, patients over 70 years of age will not be able to fully and quickly recover after the operation due to the aging of the body.
• 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 an acute form.
• Respiratory viral infections.
• Blood coagulation disorders.
• The need for long-term use of blood-thinning drugs.

Preventive measures

To prevent the development of prostatitis, it is not necessary to take drugs or use various folk methods. The most effective way to protect your health is prevention. It is enough to follow a healthy lifestyle and minimize risk factors.

1. It is necessary to avoid hypothermia, it is a catalyst for the initiation of the inflammatory process.
2. Proper nutrition or diet. It is important to maintain the balance of intake of all vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the body. At the same time, it is not necessary to carry out medical nutrition, it is enough not to abuse alcohol, fatty, fried, salty and smoked foods.

3. Annual preventive examinations. Most men consider it a waste of time to visit the doctor for no reason. At the initial stage, prostatitis does not cause obvious symptoms, so it is possible to determine the presence of an inflammatory process only through examination and clinical studies.
4. Moderate physical activity. A complete lack of physical education or, on the contrary, exhausting exercises have a negative effect on the male body. To prevent prostatitis, it is enough to do 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 and requires appropriate treatment. A modern approach to therapy offers all the support for men's health. In severe forms of the disease, recovery may be delayed indefinitely. You should not delay a visit to the doctor, in the initial stage of the disease, you can restore the normal functioning of the prostate gland and eliminate unpleasant painful symptoms.
