According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of productive age are by no means happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to some subtlety of the pathology, most of the patients turn to a specialist only if the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate daily life.
An early visit to the doctor and starting treatment at an early stage will help you get rid of prostatitis faster.
It is possible to cure the disease quickly and with the condition of using minimal treatment only in the early stages of development, when there are practically no symptoms. If left untreated, complete rejection of prostatitis can take a long time and require the use of combination therapy. Modern methods include the use of not only drugs, but also other ways of eliminating an unpleasant disease.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis include the use of not only medication but also physiotherapy. In addition, the patient needs to make some adjustments to the 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, comorbidities, as well as certain individual characteristics of the patient, specialists may apply a conservative or surgical method of treatment.
- The conservative method involves treating a condition in men using the most common methods. These can be medicines, some physiotherapy methods, daily routine and diet. The use of a conservative method is allowed both in the early stages of the disease and for the treatment of its chronic and acute form.
- If the disease is advanced, ie the pathogenic prostate tissues have almost completely replaced the healthy ones and the gland is not fully functioning, a surgical method of treatment is used. It involves surgery, through which pathological neoplasms are removed and prostate function is fully or partially restored. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment with means such as drugs and physiotherapy does not bring visible results and there is no positive dynamics.
Medical treatment
As the name suggests, 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 many drugs that allow not only to eliminate inflammatory processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative effects of taking antibiotics and also the full restoration of productive function.
Modern medicines, which are most often used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men, are combined in many main groups, each of which has one or the other effect on the body. For example:
- A feature of prostatitis is the following aspect: most often the disease develops against the background of the presence of congestive phenomena that occur in the pelvic area. Their appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymph flow, which is a result of sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular close relationships, etc. With this in mind, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in men, drugs are used that restore blood circulation and eliminate pathogens.
- Antibacterial drugs. If the disease arose as a result of infection of the body, that is, prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, its treatment in men includes taking antibiotics aimed at eliminating the pathogens and restoring the characteristic microflora of the body.
- Problems with urination in men, which are expressed by the appearance of pain in the bladder area, are also due to the spread of the inflammatory process, during which there is a systemic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system, which causes pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern medicines are used that effectively eliminate spasms, relax the muscles and therefore 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 the level of hormones.
- The characteristic symptoms of prostatitis are pain, burning sensation 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 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 a direct physical effect on the prostate area, various devices and devices are also used, the action of which is based on magnetic wave radiation. Although, to be fair, it should be noted that prostate palpation is used more often.
Massage is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the productive system. It allows you to effectively eliminate stagnant phenomena, restore blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory process. In addition, only with the help of massage it is possible to remove the pus and secretion that accumulates during the course of the disease from the prostate gland.
However, the use of this method is unacceptable in acute forms 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 treatment. The effect of laser radiation on the affected organs and tissues allows you to quickly eliminate inflammatory processes and reduce discomfort. In addition, there is a process of activating tissue regeneration as well as restoring blood circulation.
- Magnetotherapy. Currently, this method of treatment is widely used. Such a procedure involves the effect on the patient's tissues of a magnetic field, due to which the flow of blood and lymph is restored, the adsorption of active substances in the organs and tissues, contained in the preparations prescribed to the patient for the treatment ofprostatitis, improves.
- Microwave - treatment, the action of which is based on heat exposure. This method contributes to the regeneration and repair of tissues, 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. Therefore, their use is possible only at the personal initiative of the patient. These include acupuncture, leech therapy, therapeutic wraps therapy, herbal medicine.
Additional Methods
At present, almost every expert knows 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 such measures as adherence to a daily regimen and diet.
Due to the fact that the disease usually occurs against the background of characteristic stagnation, for 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 that will strengthen the blood vessels and improve the microcirculation of blood in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of loads, systematic physical overwork can have the opposite effect, that is, to cause the negative effects of stagnation. Therefore, when choosing exercises, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
