All about the means and methods of treating prostatitis

Prostatitis is a common and dangerous disease that occurs with an inflammatory process in the prostate. Most often, the disease develops as a result of a circulatory disorder or infection. According to medical statistics, prostatitis in recent years has been increasingly diagnosed in men of working age. The disease is accompanied by painful sensations during urination and ejaculation. Manifestations of the disease negatively affect a man's quality of life. Prostatitis is dangerous for its consequences. In the absence of timely treatment, the disease acquires a chronic course, which is difficult to treat. Prostatitis needs complex treatment. Consider effective treatments for prostatitis.

Basic therapeutic methods

If there are unpleasant symptoms of the disease, a man should, without delay, consult a doctor for early diagnosis of the disease. Based on the test results, the doctor prescribes treatment.

In this case, the doctor takes into account the following factors:

• the degree and form of the disease;
• the presence of complications;
• the course of the disease;
• individual characteristics.

We must remember that only complex treatment will help treat prostatitis. Therefore, it is important to strictly follow all the doctor's prescriptions and recommendations.

The goal of prostatitis treatment is to relieve inflammation in the prostate.
All therapeutic methods used to combat the disease are divided into conservative and functional.

Conservative methods include:

• drug treatment
• taking vitamin complexes and means to normalize the immune system.
• physiotherapy;
• physiotherapy exercises;
• massage;
• Spa treatment
• hierotherapy?
• mud treatment
• traditional methods of treatment.

Surgical methods are prescribed in advanced conditions when the scar tissue has formed in the gland and is unable to perform its daily functions. During surgery, the affected tissue is usually removed.

Medication

The treatment for prostatitis consists of antibiotics, alpha-blockers, pain relievers and other medications. Consider further effective modern means of treating prostatitis.

Antibiotic treatment

Prostatitis is often bacterial in nature. Therefore, the doctor prescribes antibacterial drugs for treatment. This group of drugs provides effective treatment for acute and chronic prostatitis. The pharmaceutical industry offers a wide range of antibacterial drugs to fight the disease.

Typically, your doctor will prescribe the following groups of antibiotics for treatment:

1. Fluoroquinolones.
2. Aminoglycosides.
3. Tetracyclines.
4. Cephalosporins.
5. Penicillins.
6. Macrolides.

For the treatment of acute prostatitis, intravenous antibiotics (generation III cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones) are usually prescribed. When the fever subsides, further treatment is continued with oral antibacterial agents. The average duration of admission is 6 weeks.

For chronic prostatitis, fluoroquinolones are commonly used. These drugs easily penetrate the prostate and are effective against most gram-negative bacteria, chlamydia, ureaplasma. Tetracyclines are effective against suspected chlamydial infection.

For the treatment of abscess and chronic prostatitis, caused by infection with Proteus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, sulfa drugs are prescribed.

Macrolide tablets and injections are prescribed to treat viruses that have penetrated deep inside. If prostatitis occurred as a result of the penetration of many pathogens, or the tests did not help to determine the type of pathogen, drugs of the aminoglycoside group are prescribed. However, due to the long list of side effects, these drugs are not often prescribed.

With prolonged use of antibiotics, you need to support the body with ascorbic and folic acid, as well as B vitamins.

It is important to remember that the entire course of antibiotic treatment must be completed to achieve effective results and prevent relapses.

Before prescribing an antibiotic, the doctor determines the underlying cause of the disease. Antibacterial drugs are only effective against bacterial prostatitis. If the disease is due to reduced blood circulation, then antibiotic treatment can harm the patient.

Alpha blockers

These drugs are prescribed to relieve tension from the muscles of the bladder and urinary tract in chronic prostatitis.

Treatment with these agents leads to a reduction in swelling and pain relief.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

These drugs are effectively prescribed to treat the acute form of the disease. They relieve pain and inflammation, reduce swelling and improve the secretion of secretions.

The drugs are prescribed in the form of tablets, powders or anal suppositories.

Vascular protectors

The drugs improve prostate capillary function, blood circulation and oxygen supply to the affected organs, eliminating stagnant processes.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors

One of the most effective representatives of this group of drugs is a drug that reduces the volume of the prostate, relieves swelling of the tissues, reduces pain and restores the rate of urine flow.

Immunoregulatory drugs

To normalize immunity, the doctor usually prescribes immunomodulatory drugs.

Medications may also be prescribed to treat secondary immunodeficiencies.

Hormone therapy

In some cases, the inflammatory process is accompanied by erectile dysfunction. To restore the function of the organs of the endocrine system, as well as to restore the erection, the doctor prescribes hormone therapy.

The use of suppositories

Rectal suppositories are effective in treating acute and chronic prostatitis.

List of common treatments:

1. Fish Candles. They have a disinfectant effect, normalize blood circulation, relieve pain.
2. Suppositories with prostate extract. They relieve inflammation and swelling, relieve congestion and prevent the formation of blood clots.
3. Candles with ballad. Relieve pain and inflammation.
4. Suppositories for cell tissue regeneration. The use of such suppositories quickly restores the work of the prostate.

Physiotherapy procedures

Physiotherapy methods have also proven to be good. Physiotherapy consists of various techniques that have recently been used successfully to combat the disease. The doctor chooses the type of procedure individually. The course of treatment has a positive effect not only on the prostate, but also on the whole body.

Physiotherapy procedures for prostatitis can achieve the following results:

• improving microcirculation in prostate tissues.
• increase in the accumulation of drugs in the gland.
• Reduce painful sensations.
• improving the quality of urination
• remove the inflammatory process.
• boost power.

There are several methods of physical therapy:

1. Electrophoresis. The affected area is exposed to direct current with medication.
2. Ultrasound. It is considered one of the most effective therapeutic methods. The gland is affected by ultrasound waves. The procedure is completely painless.
3. Magnetotherapy.
4. Laser induction magnetic therapy. The prostate is treated in a complex way with a magnet and a laser. The procedure improves blood circulation, speeds up the healing process of infected tissues and relieves pain.
5. Laser treatment.
6. Microwave microwave therapy.
7. Ozone treatment.
8. Vacuum treatment.
9. Cold disaster. Infected tissue is removed using liquid nitrogen.

And it is also used to treat prostatitis:

• expansion of the balloon. The urethra is mechanically inflated using a catheter that has an inflated balloon at the end.
• stenting. The process also continues with the expansion of the urethra. However, in this case, a stent is inserted. The latter is presented in the form of a cylindrical frame and made of polymeric material.

Physiotherapy methods are usually prescribed in combination with medication to improve the results of the treatment. Such procedures are well tolerated and have no side effects. Side effects can occur with individual intolerance.

Magnetotherapy

A magnetic field is applied to the prostate through the skin. At the same time, the nutrition of the prostate cells is improved, its protective properties are activated and the removal of toxins from the glandular tissues is accelerated. Magnetotherapy activates blood circulation and improves the absorption of drugs.

Microwave microwave therapy

The affected prostate is directly exposed to microwave electric waves. As a result, the temperature in the heated area rises, the blood vessels dilate and the blood flow accelerates.

In addition, as a result of the increase in temperature, there is a reduction in smooth muscle spasms. As a result, the man has improved the drainage of prostate secretions and pain relief.

Laser treatment

During the procedure, the prostate tissue is irradiated with a low-intensity laser beam. This method dilutes the blood, accelerates the outflow of secretions and prevents the formation of micro clots.

Also, laser treatment increases the body's protective functions and promotes tissue regeneration. Laser treatment is prescribed as a treatment for chronic prostatitis.

Vacuum treatment

A special medical device is installed in the penis, under the influence of which blood flows to the penis and an erection occurs. It is recommended to combine vacuum therapy with laser therapy. During an erection, a laser beam is directed at the penis. The latter helps increase blood flow.

Ozone treatment

For treatment, a special ozone-enriched fluid is injected through the urethra. Usually, saline is used for the procedure. Ozone treatment restores normal prostate function, has bactericidal action, promotes the repair of damaged cells and is considered one of the modern methods of treating prostatitis.

For the process to be effective, it must be performed daily. The duration of the treatment course depends on the stage of development of the disease and is 6-10 manipulations.

Home treatment

Physiotherapy procedures are usually performed in a patient setting. However, there are devices that allow you to treat at home. One of these devices is a device, among the advantages of which should be noted durability and ease of use. With the help of the device, the gland tissue is exposed to a magnetic field, heat and massage are performed.

The procedure takes about 10-12 minutes and is completely painless. For treatment, the tip of the device, previously coated with a condom, is inserted into the rectum. After the procedure, the limb is wiped with alcohol. The duration of treatment is 15 sessions.

The use of the device is contraindicated in the following cases:

• in the acute stage of the disease.
• with intestinal bleeding.
• presence of stones in the prostate;
• presence of cracks in the rectum and worsening of hemorrhoids.
• men with urogenital tuberculosis.
• with malignant neoplasms.
• with diarrhea
• in a feverish state.

Before starting physiotherapy, a man should be examined to determine the level of PSA in the blood and undergo a structural ultrasound of the prostate. Such diagnostics will allow the oncology to be ruled out. If necessary, your doctor may order an MRI (MRI) scan.

There are no prescription physiotherapy methods for the treatment of massive prostatitis in the presence of calcifications.

Massage

The procedure eliminates stagnant processes in the prostate, helps eliminate toxins that are formed as a result of inflammatory processes.

Contraindications to massage:

• acute phase of the disease
• adenoma
• malignant neoplasms
• Prostatolithiasis - the presence of calcium in the prostate.
• tuberculosis.

The massage is done by a doctor. The patient adopts the knee-elbow position to maximize pelvic floor muscle relaxation. The doctor inserts a finger through the anus and massages the prostate. The course usually consists of 10 massages.

This process promotes secretion from the gland, activates blood circulation, increases resistance to infection and accelerates the repair of damaged tissues.

Recently, prostate massage has been rarely prescribed as the drug progresses and new, more effective treatments have been developed.

Physiotherapy

Very often, prostatitis is formed due to inadequate blood supply to the gland muscles.

To normalize blood microcirculation, deep squats are considered effective. You have to sit up with your hands up. You should do this exercise at least 100 times, 3 sets a week.
