Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate. Hypothermia, a sedentary lifestyle, infection (bacterial - most often) becomes the cause of the development of the pathological process. The prostate swells, urination is disturbed, pain occurs and then constantly disturbs - in the perineum, in the urethra, above the pubic bone. To get rid of inflammation faster, you need to contact a urologist who will prescribe a drug for prostatitis. Nowadays there is a wide range of drugs, so it will be possible to quickly get rid of the disease and prevent the transition of the pathology into a chronic form.
Features of the treatment of prostatitis
It is important to understand that only a urologist can prescribe an effective cure for prostatitis. He will conduct an examination, interview about the events that preceded the development of the inflammation; Send to ultrasound (or TRUS), write out a referral for laboratory diagnostics. The results of these studies are of great importance - the doctor focuses on them and prescribes this or that drug.
If you buy and use a drug for prostatitis solely for personal reasons, then at your own discretion, not only can you make a mistake, but also harm the body. And in some cases, such treatment is simply ineffective as prostatitis goes from an acute form to a chronic stage.
When treating prostate inflammation, certain diet and lifestyle recommendations should be followed.
- It is contraindicated to consume alcohol throughout the course of therapy. Treatment of prostatitis is incompatible with the presence of alcohol in the blood.
- Deny intimacy. During sexual intercourse there is an accelerated production of hormones. This effect puts stress on the inflamed prostate. It is also important to understand that unprotected intimacy increases the likelihood of transmission of pathogenic microflora from a man to a woman's genital canal. A full-fledged act will not be due to erectile dysfunction - a typical erectile dysfunction inherent in men with prostatitis.
- Do not eat fried, spicy, sour and salty foods. Such a diet has a negative effect on the condition of the prostate, since enzymes irritate the tissues, aggravate pain and aggravate inflammation.
- In order to monitor personal hygiene and its intimate part, it is impossible to create favorable conditions for the development of the inflammatory process, especially if the prostatitis is caused by the bacterial flora.
Even before starting a therapy course, it is important to inform the doctor about existing chronic diseases. The fact is that some drugs for prostatitis cannot be taken in certain diseases.
