According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of productive age are not at all happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to some subtlety of the pathology, most sick people turn to a specialist only if the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate daily life.
Timely visits to the doctor and the start of treatment at an early stage will help get rid of prostatitis more quickly.
It is possible to cure the disease quickly and provided the use of minimal therapy only in the early stages of development, when there are almost no symptoms. If treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, complete disposal of prostatitis can take a long time and require the use of complex therapies. Modern methods include the use of not only drugs, but also other means of eliminating unpleasant diseases.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis involve the use of not only drugs, but also physiotherapy. In addition, patients need to make some adjustments to their daily diet and 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, comorbidities, as well as some individual characteristics of the patient, the specialist may use conservative or surgical methods of treatment.
- Conservative methods involve the treatment of diseases in men using the most common methods. These can be medications, some methods of physiotherapy, adherence to a daily regimen and diet. The use of conservative methods is allowed in the early stages of disease development, and for the treatment of chronic and acute forms.
- If the disease is in an advanced form, that is, the pathogenic tissue of the prostate almost completely replaces the healthy one, and the gland is not fully functioning, the method of surgical treatment is used. It involves surgical intervention, in which the pathological neoplasm is removed and prostate function is fully or partially restored. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment by means such as drugs and physiotherapy does not bring visible results and there are no positive dynamics.
Medical therapy
As the name suggests, drug therapy is the treatment of prostatitis, as well as several other diseases of the genital area in men, by taking medications. Currently, there are many drugs that allow not only to eliminate the inflammatory process, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative consequences of taking antibiotics, and even fully restore productive function.
Modern medicines, 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:
- The characteristic feature of prostatitis is the following aspects: often the disease develops against the background of the presence of congestive phenomena occurring in the pelvic area. Their appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymph flow, which is the result of an inactive lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relations, and so on. Given 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 arises as a result of an infection of the body, i. e. prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, its treatment in men involves the intake of antibiotics aimed at eliminating the pathogen and restoring the characteristics of the body’s microflora.
- Problems with urination in men, expressed in the appearance of pain in the bladder area, are also due to the spread of inflammatory processes, against which systematic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system occurs, which causes pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern medicine is used that effectively relieves cramps, relaxes muscles and thus relieves discomfort.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is the result of changes in the hormonal background, drugs are also used during treatment, actions aimed at restoring and normalizing hormone 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 calming, healing and regenerative effect on the tissues.
Prostate sequence
Prostate massage can be associated with modern methods of treatment of both prostatitis and some other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that for direct physical effects on the prostate area, various devices and apparatus are also used, the action of which is based on magnetic wave radiation. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that prostate palpation 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 phenomenon 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 secretions that accumulate in the course of the disease from the prostate gland.
However, the use of this method is unacceptable in the acute form of the disease.
Physiotherapy
Almost all methods of treating prostatitis through the use of physiotherapy are modern. In general medical practice, the following are most commonly used:
- laser therapy. The effect on the affected organs and tissues as a result of laser radiation allows you to quickly eliminate the inflammatory process and reduce discomfort. In addition, there is a process of activation of tissue regeneration, as well as 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, which causes blood and lymph flow to be restored, the adsorption of active substances into organs and tissues, contained in preparations prescribed to patients for the treatment of prostatitis, is improved.
- Microwave oven - therapy, the action of which is based on heat exposure. This method contributes to the regeneration and recovery of tissue, can significantly reduce pain and contributes to the fact that the body better absorbs the drugs taken.
There are also other methods of physiotherapy that are not used in modern medical practice. Accordingly, its use is possible only on the personal initiative of the patient. These include acupuncture, treatment with leeches, treatment with healing bandages, herbal medicine.
Additional Methods
Currently, almost every expert knows that the elimination of the main symptoms of both prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases in the genital area will not bring significant results in the absence of measures such as adherence to daily regimens and diet.
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 lymph flow. To do this, patients should perform daily a set of physical exercises that will strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of load, systematic physical overwork can have the opposite result, that is, trigger the negative phenomenon of stagnation. Accordingly, when choosing an exercise, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
