According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of productive age are not happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to some delicacy of the pathology, most of the sick turn to a specialist only if the characteristic signs of the disease significantly complicate everyday life.
A timely visit to the doctor and the start of treatment at an early stage will help get rid of prostatitis faster.
It is possible to cure the disease quickly and on condition that minimal therapy is used only in the early stages of development, when there are practically no symptoms. If the 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 of not only drugs, but also other ways to eliminate an unpleasant ailment.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis involve the use of not only drugs, but also physiotherapy. Also, the patient needs to make some adjustments in 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 some individual characteristics of the patient, specialists can apply a conservative or surgical method of treatment.
- The conservative method involves the treatment of an ailment in men using the most common methods. These may be medications, some methods of physiotherapy, compliance with 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 for 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, an operative method of treatment is used. It is a surgical intervention, through which the pathological neoplasms are removed and the function of the prostate is fully or partially restored. This method is usually used only in extreme cases, when treatment with such means as drugs and physiotherapy does not bring visible results and there is no positive dynamics.
medical therapy
As its name implies, pharmacotherapy is the treatment of prostatitis, as well as other diseases of the genital area in men, by taking medication. Currently, there are many drugs that allow not only to eliminate inflammation processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative consequences of taking antibiotics, and also fully 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 characteristic feature of prostatitis is the following appearance: most often the disease develops against the background of the presence of congestive phenomena occurring in the pelvic area. Its appearance is due to impaired blood and lymphatic flow, which is the result of sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relationships, etc. 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, 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, causing pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern drugs are used that effectively eliminate spasms, relax the muscles and thereby 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 soothing, healing and regenerating effect on tissues.
prostate massage
Prostate massage can be attributed to modern methods of treatment of both prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that for direct physical impact 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 palpation of the prostate is most often practiced.
Massage is one of the most effective methods to treat diseases of the productive system. It allows you to effectively remove phenomena of a 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 secret accumulated in the course of the disease of 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 therapyThe 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 activation of tissue regeneration, as well as the restoration of blood circulation.
- Magnetotherapy. Currently, this method of treatment is widely used. Such a procedure involves the impact of a magnetic field on the patient's tissues, thanks to which the blood and lymphatic flow is restored, the adsorption of active substances in the organs and tissues, which are contained in the preparations prescribed to the patient for the treatment of prostatitis, improves.
- Microwave - therapy, the action of which is based on thermal exposure. This method contributes to the regeneration and restoration of tissues, can significantly reduce pain, and helps the body better absorb the drugs that are taken.
There are also other methods of physical therapy that are not used in modern medical practice. Accordingly, their use is only possible according to the personal initiative of the patient. These include acupuncture, leech treatment, healing wrap treatment, herbal medicine.
Additional methods
Currently, almost all specialists know that the elimination of the main symptoms of prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genital area will not bring tangible results in the absence of such measures as compliance with the daily regimen and nutrition.
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, the patient must daily perform a series of physical exercises that will strengthen the blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the 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. Accordingly, when choosing exercises, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
