According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of working age are not at all happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the intimate area. Due to a certain subtlety of pathology, most of the sick turn to a specialist only when the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate everyday life.
Timely visit to the doctor and early start of treatment will help to get rid of prostatitis faster.
It is possible to quickly cure the disease, provided that minimal therapy is used only in the early stages of development, when there are practically no symptoms. If treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, the complete elimination of prostatitis can take a long time and require the use of complex therapy. Modern methods include not only the use of drugs, but also other ways to get rid of an unpleasant disease.
General Rules and Regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis involve not only the use of drugs, but also physiotherapy. In addition, the patient needs to make some adjustments to the 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 can use a conservative or surgical method of treatment.
- The conservative method involves treating a disease in men using the most common methods. This can be medication, some methods of physiotherapy, compliance with the daily routine and diet. The use of a conservative method is allowed both in the early stages of the development of the disease, and for the treatment of its chronic and acute forms.
- If the disease is in an advanced form, that is, the pathogenic tissue of the prostate has almost completely replaced healthy, and the gland does not fully function, an operative method of treatment is used. It is a surgical procedure that removes pathological growths and restores all or part of the function of the prostate. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment with such means as drugs and physiotherapy does not bring visible results and there are no positive dynamics.
Medical therapy
Drug therapy, as the name suggests, is the treatment of prostatitis and a number of other diseases of the intimate area in men by taking medication. Currently there are many drugs that allow not only to eliminate inflammatory processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative consequences of taking antibiotics and fully restore productive function.
Modern drugs, which are most often used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men, are combined into several main groups, each of which implies 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 phenomena in the pelvic area. Their appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymph flow, which is the result of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relationships, and so on. In view of this, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men, drugs are used that restore blood circulation and eliminate pathogenic phenomena.
- antibacterial drugs. If the disease appeared as a result of infection of the body, that is, prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, its treatment in men involves taking antibiotics aimed at eliminating pathogens and restoring the microflora characteristic of the body.
- Problems with urination in men, which are manifested by the appearance of pain in the bladder area, are also due to the spread of the inflammatory process, against which there is a systematic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system, causing pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern drugs are used that effectively eliminate spasms, relax muscles and thereby relieve discomfort.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is due to a change in the hormonal background, drugs are also used during treatment, the action of which is aimed at restoring and normalizing hormonal levels.
- The characteristic symptoms of prostatitis are pain, burning and itching in the prostate area. To eliminate the negative signs of the disease in men, topical preparations are used that have a soothing, healing and regenerating effect on tissues.
prostate massage
Prostate massage can be attributed to modern methods of treating prostatitis and a number of other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that for direct physical impact on the prostate area, various devices and apparatuses are also used, the effect of which is based on the emission of magnetic waves. However, in fairness it should be noted that palpation of the prostate is most often practiced.
Massage is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the productive system. It allows you to effectively eliminate the phenomena of stagnant nature, restore blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory process. In addition, only with the help of massage it is possible to remove pus and secret from the prostate gland accumulated during the course of the disease.
However, the use of this method is unacceptable in acute forms of the disease.
physical therapy
Almost all methods of treating prostatitis through the use of physiotherapy are modern. In general medical practice, the most commonly used are:
- laser therapy. The effects of laser radiation on the affected organs and tissues allow you to quickly eliminate inflammatory processes and relieve discomfort. In addition, there is a process of activating tissue regeneration, as well as restoring blood circulation.
- magnetotherapy. Currently, this method of treatment is widespread. Such a procedure involves the action of a magnetic field on the patient's tissues, as a result of which blood and lymph flow is restored, adsorption into the organs and tissues of active substances contained in the preparations prescribed to the patient, improves the treatment of prostatitis.
- Microwave therapy, the effect of which is based on thermal stress. This method contributes to the regeneration and restoration of tissues, can significantly reduce pain and helps the body better absorb the medications taken.
There are other methods of physiotherapy that are not used in modern medical practice. Their use is therefore only possible on the patient's own initiative. These include acupuncture, treatment with leeches, treatment with healing wraps, herbal medicine.
Additional methods
Currently, almost every specialist knows that getting rid of the main symptoms of both prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genital area without such measures as compliance with the daily regime and diet will not bring tangible results.
Due to the fact that the disease usually occurs against the background of characteristic stagnation phenomena, for prevention and treatment it is necessary to eliminate this pathology and restore blood and lymphatic flow. To do this, the patient should daily perform a set of physical exercises that strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of loads, systematic physical overwork can do the opposite, that is, provoke the negative phenomena of stagnation. Accordingly, when choosing exercises, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
