Prostatitis treatment scheme

Prostatitis is one of the most common diseases in men. In the early stages of development, the disease does not cause obvious symptoms, making it difficult to diagnose. However, to maintain health, an appropriate prostatitis treatment regimen is required, selected by the attending physician, depending on clinical presentation and laboratory results.

Principles of correct treatment of prostatitis

Young men do not think about possible problems with the prostate, because everyone considers the disease to be a disease of the older generation. Indeed, people over the age of 50 are more susceptible to this condition. However, the statistics that experts give show that even young men get prostatitis.

There is a risk of being residents of cold regions, especially with high humidity. Medical research shows that more than 35% of men in good health suffer from some form of prostatitis. And in cold regions, this number exceeds 70%, and there is no age limit.

It is important to understand that alarming symptoms should not be ignored and that annual physical examination should not be overlooked. Modern prostatitis treatments are most effective in the early stages of the disease. Medicine offers many forms of therapy and medication regimens, focusing on the treatment of any form of disease.

The new approach to dealing with prostatitis is a set of measures to restore health. This approach is due to the fact that there can be a number of reasons for the disease. With the help of therapy, it is proposed to completely eliminate the source of infection, improve the blood supply to the prostate gland and strengthen the immune system.

The complex method consists of several stages of the treatment of prostatitis in a row:

• A complete physical exam to determine the specific cause of prostatitis and the stage of the disease. For diagnosis, general blood tests and determination of PSA levels, ultrasound, examination of prostate secretions, ejaculation and urine are used.
• Antibacterial therapy with the help of drugs is selected specifically to destroy the focus of the infection, which has become a factor in the development of prostatitis.
• The appointment of physiotherapeutic procedures as an additional method of treatment.
• Prostate massage therapy. The procedure is aimed at improving the function of the prostate gland and preventing erectile dysfunction.
• Modification of the nutritional system of patients with prostatitis. During treatment, a special diet is established. Alcohol and caffeinated beverages, fatty, fried and spicy foods are prohibited.
• Immunity is boosted with the help of vitamin and mineral complexes, home stimulants and functional foods.

Health care

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

Antibacterial drugs

As a treatment for inflammation caused by a bacterial infection, various drugs with antibacterial properties are used. This is a series of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis, which has the property of preventing the growth and development of harmful microorganisms inside the human body.

According to the pharmaceutical effect, the drug is divided into two types: bactericidal effect and bacteriostatic effect. The first category includes drugs that can destroy cell membranes and cause the death of microorganisms. The second drug for the treatment of prostatitis is based on the principle of disrupting protein synthesis and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria.

Types of antibiotics

Receive the drug prescribed by the doctor after performing medical tests. This is a prerequisite for choosing the most effective treatment. This does not mean that there is a good antibiotic that best treats prostatitis. The therapy is selected based on the susceptibility of the bacteria to the drug. The groups of drugs that are widely used for treatment are presented in the table:

	Tetracyclines	Penicillin	Fluoroquinolones	macrolide	Cephalosporins
Ureaplasma	+		+	+
Mycoplasma	+		+	+
Chlamydia	+		+	+
Gonococci		+	+	+	+
Intestinal bacteria	+	+			+
Enterococci	+	+
Klebsiella	+	+	+		+
Protea		+	+		+

Physical therapy

Additional procedures are prescribed based on the results of the physical examination and the established diagnosis. It is an integral part of the complex treatment of patients with prostatitis. Manipulations are used to reinforce the effects of medication in the treatment of prostatitis.

• Improves local blood circulation in the pelvic area. The processes of cell metabolism and tissue regeneration are normalized.
• The circulation of lymph is stimulated, which helps prevent blockages in the prostate and reduces inflammation.
• During treatment, the process of microcirculation inside the prostate tissues is normalized. As a result, the delivery of drugs to the prostate gland and the elimination of bacterial residues is accelerated.
• Improves secretion of the prostate gland, reduces the possibility of further spread of bacterial infections.
• The increased permeability of cells and tissues leads to better absorption of vitamins and trace elements.

Physiotherapy also has its contraindications. It is not recommended to perform manipulations in the acute form of the inflammatory process, urethritis, diseases of the small pelvis. An additional procedure is not prescribed for viral lesions of the body, chronic heart disease, HIV and fungal skin lesions. In other cases, it is recommended to conduct treatment sessions.

The duration of the course of treatment is determined by the doctor. Some of them are recommended to do daily, others weekly. Modern medicine offers a complete list of possible physiotherapeutic procedures:

1. UHF therapy. During this process, an electric field is applied to the tissue using special capacitor plates.

2. Electromagnetic field therapyExtremely high frequency.
3. Ultrasonic treatment. High frequency vibrations are used that are not perceived by the ear.
4. Darsonvalization. The patient is exposed to a high frequency pulsed current.
5. Galvanized. A very effective method of physical therapy, it occupies one of the first places among therapeutic and preventive procedures. During the session, a continuous current of small magnitude and low voltage is used.
6. electrophoresiswith drug use. A complex procedure that combines action on prostate tissue with direct current and the pharmacological properties of the drug.
7. Magnetic therapy. Physical therapy, in which the patient's body is exposed to a low frequency magnetic field.
8. Laser therapy. Deliver low-intensity radiation to the focus of inflammation.
9. Therapeutic enema. This 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 drugs, infusions and decoctions from herbs, essential oils are used as poultices.

Physiotherapy procedures using special equipment are prescribed during treatment at a spa or in a medical facility. Operations that can be performed without the involvement of qualified medical personnel will be performed at home.

Prostate massage

One of the methods of treatment and prevention of common prostate diseases today. The method of mechanical prostate stimulation has been used by world medicine for more than 100 years. And it remains an effective therapeutic procedure.

The massage is performed by a medically qualified professional. It is suggested that the operations can be performed independently. However, due to the anatomical features of a person and the location of his internal organs, this is not possible. Actions on the prostate gland should be of a therapeutic nature and should be performed by qualified medical personnel.

Prostate massage helps not only to fight inflammatory processes. It is a good preventive measure against 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 gland, abscesses, pain during massage.

Phytotherapy

The duration of treatment with the use of drugs depends on the complexity of the disease process. Folk methods based on the effect of plant components can be used in the acute phase of the disease, as well as in the exacerbation of chronic prostatitis.

The centuries-tested formula has no unique ingredients like synthetic drugs, but can be just as effective. Herbal medicine can only be used as a means of treatment after prior consultation with a doctor. The most popular homemade recipes are:

1. Tea with honey. A simple and familiar snack that 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 nuts daily. Another way to use them: twist the peeled, unroasted pumpkin seeds into a meat grinder and mix with 200 grams of honey. From the resulting mixture, form balls the size of a walnut. It is recommended to eat one ball per day before meals.
3. Aspen Bark Alcohol. 100 grams of crushed bark must be mixed with 1 glass of vodka and tightly covered with a lid. Store for 2 weeks in a cool, dark place, then strain 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 from the used drugs, folk remedies and physiotherapy. With the development of an abscess, a severe inflammatory process and dysuria, as well as the presence of a tumor, surgical intervention is indicated. Despite the positive results after surgery, this type of treatment has serious contraindications:

• The old age of the man. Regardless of symptoms, patients over 70 years of age, due to the aging of the body, will not be able to recover completely and quickly 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 an acute form.
• Respiratory viral infection.
• Blood clotting disorder.
• The need for long-term use of blood-thinning drugs.

1. Hypothermia should be avoided, it is a catalyst to initiate the inflammatory process.
