According to statistics, today at least 40% of men of working age are not at all happy owners of inflammatory diseases of the genitals. Due to some subtlety of the disease, the majority of patients only turn to a specialist if the characteristic signs of the disease make everyday life significantly more difficult.
Visiting a doctor on time and starting treatment early will help you get rid of prostatitis faster.
With rapid and minimal therapy, the disease can only be cured in the early stages of development, when there are virtually no symptoms. If treatment is not performed in time, complete removal of prostatitis may take a long time and may require complex therapy. Modern methods include not only medications but also other ways to eliminate unpleasant diseases.
General rules and regulations
Modern methods of treating prostatitis include not only medication but also physiotherapy. In addition, the patient should adjust their 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, its comorbidities, and the individual characteristics of the patient, professionals may use conservative or surgical treatment.
- The conservative method involves treating the disease in men with the most common methods. These may include medications, certain physiotherapy methods, daily routine, and nutrition. The use of the 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, i. e. , the pathogenic tissues of the prostate are almost completely replaced by healthy ones, and the gland is not fully functioning, an operative method of treatment is used. It involves surgery to remove abnormal tumors and fully or partially restore prostate function. This method is usually used only in extreme cases where medication and physiotherapy do not produce visible results and there are no positive dynamics.
Medical therapy
As its name suggests, drug therapy is the treatment of prostatitis as well as many other diseases of the male genitals by taking medications. There are currently many drugs that not only eliminate inflammatory processes, but also increase immunity, eliminate the negative consequences of taking antibiotics, and fully restore productive function.
Modern medicines, which are most commonly used to treat inflammatory diseases in men, are divided into several main groups, each of which has some effect on the body. For example:
- A characteristic feature of prostatitis is the fact that the disease is most often caused by congestive phenomena in the pelvic area. Their appearance is due to the deterioration of blood and lymph flow, which is a sedentary lifestyle, lack of regular intimate relationships, and so on. In light of this, drugs are used to treat inflammatory diseases in men that restore blood circulation and eliminate pathogens.
- Antibacterial drugs. If the disease is caused by an infection of the body, that is, prostatitis has bacterial pathogenesis, then treatment of men involves taking antibiotics to remove the pathogens and restore the body's characteristic microflora.
- Problems with urination in men, manifested in the appearance of pain in the bladder area, are also due to the spread of the inflammatory process, which is counteracted by the systematic spasm of the muscles of the excretory system, which causes pain. To eliminate this phenomenon, modern drugs are used that effectively eliminate cramps, relax muscles and thus relieve discomfort.
- If the development of prostatitis in men is the result of a change in hormonal background, medications are also used during treatment to restore and normalize hormone levels.
- Typical symptoms of prostatitis are pain, burning and itching in the prostate area. To eliminate the negative signs of the disease, topical preparations are used in men, which have a calming, healing and regenerating effect on the tissues.
Prostate massage
Prostate massage can be attributed to modern treatments for prostatitis and many other inflammatory diseases. This is due to the fact that various devices and devices are used to operate directly on the prostate area, the operation of which is based on the emission of magnetic waves. Although, for the sake of fairness, it should be noted that palpation of the prostate is most commonly practiced.
Massage is one of the most effective methods of treating diseases of the productive system. It allows the effective elimination of the phenomena of stagnant nature, the restoration of blood circulation and the reduction of the inflammatory process. In addition, pus and secretions accumulated during the disease can be removed from the prostate gland only by massage.
However, the use of this method is unacceptable in acute forms of the disease.
Physiotherapy
Almost all methods of treating prostatitis using physiotherapy are modern. The following are most commonly used in general medical practice:
- laser therapy. The effects of laser radiation on affected organs and tissues allow for the rapid cessation of inflammatory processes and the reduction of discomfort. In addition, there is a process in activating tissue regeneration as well as restoring blood circulation.
- Magnetotherapy. Currently, this method of treatment is widely used. In such a procedure, a magnetic field is applied to the patient's tissues, as a result of which blood and lymph flow is restored, and the active ingredients contained in the preparations prescribed for the patient are absorbed into the organs and tissues. treatment of prostatitis, improves.
- Microwave therapy, the effect of which is based on thermal exposure. This method contributes to tissue regeneration and recovery, can significantly reduce pain, and helps the body better absorb the drugs it takes in.
There are other physiotherapy methods that are not used in modern medical practice. Accordingly, their use is only possible on the patient's personal initiative. These include acupuncture, treatment with leeches, treatment with healing wraps, herbal medicine.
Additional methods
At present, almost all professionals know that eliminating the main symptoms of prostatitis and other inflammatory diseases of the genitals does not bring tangible results in the absence of measures such as adherence to a daily system and nutrition.
Given that the disease usually occurs in the background of the characteristic stagnation phenomena, this pathology should be eliminated and blood and lymph flow restored in order to prevent and treat it. To do this, the patient must perform daily physical exercises that strengthen the blood vessels and improve blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs.
However, the misuse of loads and the systematic physical overtime can have the opposite effect, ie they cause the negative phenomena of stagnation. Accordingly, the individual characteristics of the patient should be taken into account when selecting practices.
