According to statistics, at least 40% of men of productive age today are not happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to the certain delicacy of the pathology, most patients only turn to a specialist if the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate daily life.
A timely visit to the doctor and starting treatment at an early stage will help you get rid of prostatitis faster.
The disease can be cured quickly and provided minimal therapy is possible only in the early stages of development when there are virtually no symptoms. If treatment is not carried out in time, complete destruction 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 eliminate the unpleasant disease.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis involve not only medication but also physiotherapy. In addition, the patient should make some adjustments to their 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 the disease in men using the most common methods. These can be medications, some methods of physiotherapy, daily routine and nutrition. The use of conservative method is allowed both in the early stages of the disease, as well as 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 and the gland is not fully functioning, the surgical method of treatment is used. It involves surgical intervention that removes abnormal neoplasms and fully or partially restores prostate function. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment with such means as medication and physiotherapy does not bring visible results and there are no positive dynamics.
Medical therapy
As the name implies, drug therapy is the treatment of prostatitis as well as a number of other diseases of the genital area in men by taking medication. Currently, there are numerous medications that can not only eliminate inflammatory processes, but also boost immunity, eliminate the negative effects of taking antibiotics, and also completely restore productive function.
Modern medicines, which are most often used to treat inflammatory diseases in men, are united into several main groups, each of which has this or that 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 pelvic events in the pelvis. Their appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymph flow, which is a sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relations, and so on. Sh. With this in mind, medications are used to treat inflammatory diseases in men that restore blood circulation and eliminate pathogenic effects.
- Antibacterial drugs. If the disease has arisen as a result of infection of the body, i. e. prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, its treatment in men involves the administration of antibiotics aimed at eradicating the pathogens and restoring the microflora characteristic of the body.
- Urinary problems in men, manifested by pronounced pain in the area of the bladder, are also caused by the spread of an inflammatory process, against which there is a systematic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system, which causes pain. Modern medicines are used to eliminate this phenomenon, which effectively prevent spasms, relax the muscles and thus relieve discomfort.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is the result of a change in the hormonal background, drugs are also used during treatment, the action of which is aimed at restoring and normalizing hormone levels.
- Typical symptoms of prostatitis are pain, burning sensation and itching around the prostate. Local remedies are used to eliminate the negative signs of the disease in men, which have a calming, healing and restorative effect on the tissues.
Prostate massage
Prostate massage can be attributed to modern methods of treating 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 also used various devices and apparatus whose action is based on the emission of magnetic waves. However, in fairness, it should be noted that prostate palpation is the most commonly used.
Massage is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the productive system. This allows you to effectively eliminate stagnant events, restore blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory process. In addition, only through massage is it possible to remove the pus and secretions accumulated during the course of the disease from the prostate gland.
However, the use of this method in acute forms of the disease is unacceptable.
Physiotherapy
Almost all methods of treating prostatitis using physiotherapy are modern. The following are most commonly used in general medical practice:
- Laser therapy. The impact of laser radiation on damaged organs and tissues allows you to quickly eliminate inflammatory processes and reduce discomfort. In addition, the process of tissue regeneration is activated, as well as the restoration of blood circulation.
- Magnetotherapy. Currently this method of treatment is widely used. Such a procedure involves the effect of a magnetic field on the patient's tissues, thereby restoring blood and lymph flow, adsorption of active substances into the organs and tissues contained in the preparations prescribed to the patient. Treatment of prostatitis is improving.
- Microwave - therapy, the action of which is based on thermal exposure. This method promotes tissue regeneration and recovery, can significantly reduce pain and contributes to the fact that the body better absorbs the received medication.
There are also other methods of physiotherapy that are not used in modern medical practice. Therefore, they can be used only at the personal initiative of the patient. These are: acupuncture, treatment with puppies, treatment with medicinal dressings, herbal medicine.
Additional methods
Currently, almost all specialists know that the elimination of the main symptoms of both prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genital area will not bring tangible results in the absence of measures such as adherence to a daily diet and nutrition.
Since the disease usually occurs against the background of characteristic stagnation phenomena, for the prevention and treatment it is necessary to eliminate this pathology and restore blood and lymph flow. To do this, the patient must perform a set of physical exercises daily, which will strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of the load, systematic physical overload can lead to the opposite result, ie to provoke the negative phenomena of stagnation. Therefore, when choosing an exercise it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
