Medicines
Medication therapy has several purposes simultaneously - painkillers and anti -disturbances are prescribed, as well as medications that activate the regenerative and immunomodulatory functions of the body cells. Probably, chronic prostatitis treatment requires an antibiotic course. The course lasts about a month and a half, sometimes some approaches are needed. Probiotic medications are prescribed for the prevention of dysbiosis development.
Prostate massage

There are well -known balneological resorts where prostatitis is treated.
Dietotherapy
You need to start adhering to a special diet on the first signs of prostatitis. First of all, you need to abandon the spirits, as ethyl alcohol irritates prostate ducts, increases pain and inflammation. It is also necessary to limit the use of fatty meat to exclude the production of cholesterol boards and further deterioration of blood circulation. Legumes, mushrooms, hot, salty and spicy dishes, tea and coffee, carbonated drinks, as well as pastry are prohibited.
Chronic prostatitis diet should include zinc -rich foods (it contains seafood and pumpkin seeds). It is advisable to eat as many vegetables as possible (except for persons who promote gas - for example, cauliflower), dairy products, cereals and dried fruits.

Surgical intervention
Operations for prostatitis are rarely prescribed. The risk of complications and non -treatment, as well as a relatively long rehabilitation period, exceeds the benefits of the operation. Thus, in this case the operation is an extreme measure. Surgical intervention is shown only in cases where conservative treatment does not work, as well as in emergencies - prostate abscess, purulent abscesses of the surrounding tissues, absence of urination, presence of kidney stones and bladder, benign prostate or suspected oncology.
The main methods of surgical treatment of prostatitis include:
- Prostatectomy - complete removal of the prostate;
- Prostate resection - removal of part of the gland;
- Circumcision - Circular elimination of the whole form to prevent the development of prostatitis and treat its chronic forms;
- Abscess drainage to liberate purulent content.
Treating prostatitis takes long months and does not always lead to complete recovery. If you have a diagnosis of chronic prostatitis, get ready to change your lifestyle, otherwise the therapy will be pointless. There is no doubt that prostatitis prevention is much easier than treatment. Always use threshold protection products to prevent the development of this disease, try to move as much as possible (prostatitis is a lifestyle disease), follow the right diet, and avoid hypothermia.
