According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of fertile age are not happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genitals. Due to some subtleties of the pathology, the majority of patients consult a specialist only if the characteristic symptoms of the disease significantly complicate daily life.
Seeing a doctor on time and starting treatment at an early stage will help you get rid of prostatitis faster.
Treatment of the disease is possible only with the use of rapid and minimal therapy, in the early stages of development, when there are virtually no symptoms. If left untreated, complete elimination of prostatitis can take a long time and may require the use of complex therapy. Modern methods include not only the use of drugs, but also other ways to eliminate an unpleasant disease.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treatment of prostatitis involve not only drugs, but also physiotherapy. In addition, the patient should make some adjustments in 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, the course, the accompanying diseases, as well as some individual characteristics of the patient, specialists can use conservative or surgical treatment.
- The conservative method involves the treatment of a disease in men using the most common methods. These may include medication, some physiotherapy techniques, adherence to a daily regimen and diet. The use of conservative methods is allowed both in the early stages of the disease and for the treatment of chronic and acute forms.
- If the disease is advanced, ie the pathogenic tissues of the prostate have almost completely replaced the healthy ones, and the gland is not fully functioning, surgical treatment is used. This involves surgery, through which pathological neoplasms are removed and prostate function is completely or partially restored. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment with drugs and physiotherapy does not give visible results and there is no positive dynamics.
Medical therapy
As the name suggests, drug therapy is the treatment of prostatitis, as well as a number of other diseases of the genital organs in men with medication. Currently, there are many drugs that allow not only to eliminate inflammatory processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative effects of antibiotics, as well as completely restore productive function.
The most commonly used modern drugs in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men are combined into several main groups, each of which has one or another effect on the body. For example:
- A characteristic feature of prostatitis is the following aspect: in most cases, the disease develops against the background of congestive events in the pelvic region. Their appearance is a result of a sedentary lifestyle, deterioration of blood and lymph flow, lack of regular intimate relations, etc. With this in mind, drugs that restore blood circulation and eliminate pathogens are used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men.
- Antibacterial drugs. If the disease is caused by an infection of the body, ie prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, in men, its treatment involves the use of antibiotics aimed at eliminating pathogens and restoring the body's specific microflora.
- Problems with urination in men, which are characterized by the appearance of pain in the bladder, are also associated with the spread of the inflammatory process, which causes systemic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system, which causes pain. To overcome this phenomenon, modern medicines are used that effectively relieve spasms, relax muscles and thus relieve anxiety.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is the result of changes in the hormonal background, medications are also used during treatment, the effect of which is to restore and normalize hormone levels.
- Characteristic symptoms of prostatitis are pain, burning and itching in the prostate area. In men, topical drugs that have a sedative, healing and restorative effect on the tissues are used to eliminate the negative symptoms of the disease.
Prostate massage
Prostate massage can be considered a modern treatment for both prostatitis and a number of other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that various devices and devices are used to directly affect the prostate area, the activity of which is based on the radiation of magnetic waves. Although it is fair to say that palpation of the prostate is the most commonly used.
Massage is one of the most effective methods in the treatment of productive system diseases. This allows you to effectively eliminate stagnant natural phenomena, restore blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory process. In addition, only with the help of massage it is possible to remove pus and secretions accumulated in 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 the most commonly used in general medical practice:
- laser therapy. The effect of laser radiation on the affected organs and tissues allows you to quickly eliminate inflammatory processes and reduce anxiety. In addition, there is the activation of tissue regeneration, as well as the process of restoring blood circulation.
- Magnetotherapy. Currently, this method of treatment is widely used. This procedure involves the action of a magnetic field on the patient's tissues, which restores blood and lymph flow, and the active substances are absorbed into the organs and tissues in the drugs prescribed to the patient. improves the treatment of prostatitis.
- Microwave oven - therapy based on thermal effects. This method helps to regenerate and regenerate tissues, can significantly reduce pain, and helps the body better absorb medications.
There are other physiotherapy methods that are not used in modern medical practice. Accordingly, their use is possible only at the personal initiative of the patient. These include acupuncture, leprosy treatment, therapeutic dressings, and herbal remedies.
Additional methods
At present, almost every specialist knows that the elimination of the main symptoms of both prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genitals, as well as non-compliance with the daily routine and diet, will not yield significant results.
Because the disease usually occurs against the background of characteristic stagnant events, it is necessary to eliminate this pathology and restore blood and lymph flow for prevention and treatment. To do this, the patient should perform a series of physical exercises on a daily basis, which will strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of loads, systematic physical overload can have the opposite effect, ie can provoke adverse events of stagnation. Accordingly, the individual characteristics of the patient should be taken into account when choosing exercises.
