The scheme of treatment of prostatitis.

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

Principles of the correct treatment of prostatitis

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

At risk are residents of cold regions, especially with high humidity. Medical research suggests that more than 35% of able-bodied men suffer from some type of inflammation of the prostate gland. And in cold areas the figure exceeds 70% and has no age limit.

It is important to understand 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 initial stages of the disease. Medicine offers various forms of therapy and courses of medication, focused on the treatment of any form of disease.

New ways of treating prostatitis are a set of measures to restore health. This approach is due to the fact that there may be various 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 the treatment of prostatitis:

• A complete medical exam to identify the specific causes of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. For diagnosis, a general blood test and determination of the PSA level, ultrasound, examination of prostate secretion, ejaculation and urine are used.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of individually selected drugs to destroy the focus of infection, which has become a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• The appointment of physiotherapy procedures as an additional treatment.
• Prostate massage course. The procedure aims to improve prostate function and prevent erection disorders.
• Adjustment of the nutrition system of the patient with prostatitis. During treatment a special diet is established. Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages, 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.

Health care

Prostatitis should only be treated by a qualified doctor. Self-administration of potent drugs is unacceptable. It should also be understood that with the development of an infectious process in the body, drug treatment is required. Popular recipes will not help. Today, medicine offers several options for the standard approach to the treatment of prostatitis.

antibacterial drugs

As a method of treating inflammation caused by bacterial infection, various drugs with antibacterial properties are used. This is a wide range of drugs for prostatitis, which have properties to prevent the growth and development of harmful microorganisms inside the human body.

By pharmaceutical action, drugs are divided into two categories: bactericidal and bacteriostatic action. 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

Reception of drugs is appointed by the doctor after conducting medical tests. This is a prerequisite for selecting the most effective method of treatment. This is not to say that there is a good antibiotic that best treats prostatitis. Therapy is selected based on the individual sensitivity of bacteria to the drug. The widely used groups of drugs for treatment are presented in the table:

	tetracyclines	penicillins	Fluoroquinolones	macrolides	cephalosporins
Ureaplasma	+		+	+

Physiotherapy

Additional procedures are prescribed based on the results of a medical examination and an established diagnosis. This is an integral part of the complex treatment of patients with inflammation of the prostate. Manipulations are used to strengthen the effect of taking drugs in the treatment of prostatitis.

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic region. The processes of cell metabolism and tissue regeneration are normalized.
• The outflow of lymph is stimulated, which prevents congestion in the prostate gland and reduces inflammation.
• During treatment, the microcirculation process within the prostate tissues is normalized. As a result, the conduction of medicinal substances to the prostate and the elimination of bacterial waste products are accelerated.
• It improves the excretion of prostatic secretion, which reduces the likelihood of further spread of a bacterial infection.
• Increases the permeability of cells and tissues, which leads to better absorption of vitamins and microelements.

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

The duration of the course of therapy is determined by the doctor. Some of them are recommended to do every day, others weekly. Modern medicine offers a whole list of possible physiotherapy procedures:

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

2. Therapy with an electromagnetic fieldUltra high frequency.
3. ultrasound treatment. High-frequency vibrations are used, which are not perceived by the ear.
4. Darsonvalization. The patient is exposed to high-frequency pulsed current.
5. Galvanization. A very effective method of physiotherapy, it occupies one of the first places among therapeutic and preventive procedures. During the session a direct current of small intensity and low voltage is used.
6. electrophoresiswith the use of medications. A complex procedure combines the effect on prostate tissue with direct current and the 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 conducted at the focus of inflammation.
9. therapeutic enemas. The method involves the introduction of solutions based on medicinal herbs and vegetable oils into the patient's rectum.
10. bath treatment. With prostatitis, sedentary water procedures are prescribed. Special medicines, herbal teas and decoctions, essential oils are used as a filler.

Physiotherapy procedures using special devices are prescribed during spa treatment or in a medical center. Manipulations that can be done without the involvement of qualified medical personnel are performed at home at your own expense.

prostate massage

One of the most common methods of treatment and prevention of prostate diseases. The method of mechanical stimulation of the prostate has been used in world medicine for more than 100 years. And it is still an effective treatment procedure.

The massage session is performed by a specialist with medical training. There is an opinion that manipulations can be performed independently. However, due to the anatomical features of a person and the location of his internal organs, this is impossible. The impact on the prostate gland must be of a therapeutic nature and is carried out by a qualified health worker.

Prostate massage helps not only with inflammatory processes. This is a good prevention of impotence and various erectile dysfunctions. Contraindications to performing manipulations are an acute form of prostatitis, hemorrhoids, the presence of a malignant process in the prostate, an 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 effects of plant components can be used in the acute stage of the disease, as well as during the exacerbation of chronic prostatitis.

Recipes that have been tested for centuries do not have the same unique composition as synthetic drugs, but they cannot be less effective. It is possible to use herbal medicine as a means of treatment only after prior consultation with a doctor. The most common homemade recipes are:

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

Surgical intervention

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

• The advanced age of man. Regardless of the symptoms that manifest, patients over 70 years of age, due to the aging of the body, will not be able to fully and quickly recover after surgery.
• The presence of chronic pathologies of the cardiovascular and bronchopulmonary systems of the body.
• Diabetes.
• The presence of severe inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system in acute form.
• Respiratory viral infections.
• Blood coagulation disorders.
• The need for long-term use of drugs that thin the blood.

Preventive measures

To prevent the development of prostatitis, you do not need to take drugs or use various popular methods. The most effective way to maintain your own health is prevention. It is enough to follow a healthy lifestyle and minimize risk factors.

1. Hypothermia should be avoided, it is a catalyst to start the inflammatory process.
2. Proper nutrition or diet. It is important to maintain a balance in the intake of all the vitamins and minerals necessary for the normal functioning of the body. At the same time, it is not necessary to conduct medical nutrition, it is enough not to abuse alcohol, fatty, fried, salty and smoked dishes.

3. Annual preventive exams. Most men consider a visit to the doctor, for no apparent reason, a waste of time. Prostatitis in the initial stage does not cause pronounced symptoms, therefore it is possible to determine the presence of an inflammatory process only as a result of examinations and clinical studies.
4. Moderate physical activity. The male body is negatively affected by the complete absence of physical education or, conversely, exhausting workouts. To prevent prostatitis, it is enough to play sports 2-3 times a week.
5. If possible, it is recommended to avoid severe stress and nervous shocks.
6. Usual sex life. The complete absence of intimate relationships is highly undesirable. At the same time, excessive sexual activity contributes to the occurrence of various sexually transmitted diseases, which is a catalyst for the development of prostatitis.

Prostatitis is a widespread disease that requires proper treatment. A modern approach to therapy offers a wide range of support for men's health. In severe forms of the disease, recovery may be delayed for an indefinite period of time. You should not postpone a visit to the doctor, at the initial stage of the disease, you can restore the normal functioning of the prostate gland and relieve unpleasant painful symptoms.
