According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of reproductive age are by no means happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genital area. Due to a certain 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 the start of treatment at an early stage will help get rid of prostatitis faster.
It is possible to cure the disease quickly and provided that minimal therapy is used 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 may take a long time and require the use of complex therapy. Modern methods include the use of not only drugs, but also other means to eliminate an unpleasant disease.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis involve the use of not only drugs, but also physiotherapy. Additionally, 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 some individual characteristics of the patient, specialists can apply a conservative or surgical method of treatment.
- The conservative method involves the treatment of a disease in men using the most common methods. These can be medications, certain 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 at an advanced stage, that is, the pathogenic tissues of the prostate have almost completely replaced healthy tissues, and the gland does not fully function, an operative method of treatment is used. This is a surgical intervention, by which pathological neoplasms are removed and the function of the prostate is completely 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 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, many drugs allow not only to eliminate inflammatory processes, but also to increase immunity, eliminate the negative consequences of taking antibiotics and completely restore productive function.
Modern drugs, which are most often used in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in humans, are combined into several main groups, each of which involves 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 region. Their appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymphatic flows, a consequence of a sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relationships, etc. Given this, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in humans, 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 humans consists in taking antibiotics aimed at eliminating pathogens and restoringthe 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 there is a systematic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system, which causes pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern drugs are used that effectively eliminate spasms, relax 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 sensations and itching in the area of the prostate. To eliminate the negative signs of the disease in men, topical preparations are used, which have a calming, healing and regenerating effect on the tissues.
prostate massage
Prostate massage can be attributed to modern methods of treating prostatitis and a number of other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that for a direct physical impact on the prostate region, various devices and devices are also used, the action of which is based on the radiation of magnetic waves. Although, in fairness, it should be noted that palpation of the prostate gland is most often performed.
Massage is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the productive system. It allows you to effectively eliminate phenomena of a stagnant nature, restore blood circulation and reduce the inflammatory process. In addition, only with the help of massage it is possible to remove pus and secrecy accumulated during prostate disease.
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 medicine, we most often use:
- 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 method of treatment is widely used. A procedure of this type involves the impact on the patient's tissues of a magnetic field, due to which the blood and lymphatic flow is restored, the adsorption of active substances in the organs and tissues, which are contained in the prescribed preparationsto 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 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. Consequently, their use is possible only on the patient's own initiative. These include acupuncture, treatment with leeches, treatment with healing wraps, 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 measures such as compliance with the daily diet and thenutrition.
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 perform a daily set of physical exercises that will strengthen blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the abuse of loads, systematic physical overstrain can have the opposite result, that is, cause the negative phenomena of stagnation. Accordingly, when choosing exercises, it is necessary to take into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
