According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of working age are by no means happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to some delicacy of the pathology, most patients turn to a specialist only if the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate everyday life.
A timely visit to the doctor and starting treatment at an early stage will help get rid of prostatitis faster.
It is possible to cure the disease quickly and on condition of using minimal therapy only in the early stages of development, when there are practically no symptoms. If treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, the complete elimination of prostatitis can take a long time and require the use of complex therapy. Modern methods include the use not only of drugs, but also of other ways to eliminate an unpleasant disease.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis involve the use of not only medication, but also physical therapy. 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 reappearance.
Depending on the stage of the disease, its course, comorbidities, as well as some individual characteristics of the patient, specialists can apply a conservative or surgical treatment method.
- The conservative method involves treating a disease in men using the most common methods. These can be medications, some physical therapy methods, adherence to the daily regimen and nutrition. The use of a conservative method is allowed both in the early stages of the development of the disease and in the treatment of its chronic and acute forms.
- If the disease is in an advanced form, that is, the pathogenic tissues of the prostate have almost completely replaced the healthy ones, and the gland does not fully function, then a surgical method of treatment is used. It involves surgical intervention, 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 therapy
As the name implies, drug therapy is the treatment of prostatitis, as well as various other diseases of the genital area in men, by taking medication. Currently, there are many drugs that make it possible not only to eliminate inflammatory processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative consequences of taking antibiotics, and also completely restore productive function.
Modern drugs, which are most often used 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 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. Its appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymph flow as a result of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relationships, and so on. In view of 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 arose as a result of infection of the body, that is, prostatitis has a bacterial pathogenesis, then its treatment in men involves taking antibiotics aimed at eliminating pathogens and restoring the characteristic microflora of the body.
- Problems with urination in men, expressed in the appearance of pain in the bladder area, are also due to the spread of the inflammatory process, against which a systematic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system occurs, which causes pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern drugs are used that effectively eliminate spasms, relaxing muscles and relieving discomfort.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is the result of a change in the hormonal background, then 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 region. To eliminate the negative signs of the disease in men, topical preparations are used that have a soothing, healing and regenerating effect on tissues.
prostate massage
Prostate massage can be attributed to modern methods of treating prostatitis and various other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that for direct physical impact on the prostate area, various devices and appliances are also used, the action of which is based on the radiation of magnetic waves. Although, to be fair, it should be noted that palpation of the prostate is more often practiced.
Massage is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the productive system. It allows you to effectively eliminate the phenomena of stagnant nature, restore blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory process. Also, only with the help of massage it is possible to remove the pus and the secret accumulated in the course of the disease of the prostate.
However, the use of this method is unacceptable in the acute forms of the disease.
Physiotherapy
Almost all methods of treating prostatitis through physical therapy are modern. In general medical practice, the following are most often used:
- laser therapy. The impact on the affected organs and tissues of laser radiation 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 treatment method is widely used. Such a procedure involves the impact on the patient's tissues of a magnetic field, due to which the blood and lymph flow is restored, the adsorption of active substances in the organs and tissues, contained in the preparations prescribed to the patient for the treatment of prostatitis, improvement.
- Microwave - therapy, the action of which is based on thermal exposure. This method contributes to tissue regeneration and restoration, can significantly reduce pain and helps the body better absorb the drugs taken.
There are also other physical therapy methods that are not used in modern medical practice. Thus, its use is only possible according to the patient's personal initiative. These include acupuncture, leech treatment, bandage treatment, herbal medicine.
Additional Methods
Currently, almost all experts know that eliminating the main symptoms of prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genital area will not bring tangible results in the absence of measures such as adherence to the daily regimen and nutrition.
Due to the fact that the disease often occurs against the background of characteristic phenomena of stagnation, for prevention and treatment it is necessary to eliminate this pathology and restore blood and lymph flow. For this, the patient must perform a series of physical exercises daily that will strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in Organs pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of loads, the systematic excess of physical work can have the opposite result, that is, provoke the negative phenomena of stagnation. Thus, when choosing exercises, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
