For complex treatment of a specific disease,It is recommended to choose the time when the pathological process in the body is just beginning.
Due to certain circumstances, it is not always possible to diagnose prostatitis at the initial stage of its development.
Although inflammatory damage to the prostate is accompanied by pain, discomfort, impaired urination and other clinical symptoms, many men delay visiting a urologist with a subsequent comprehensive examination of the body. However, prostatitis left untreated for a long period of time tends to become chronic and suffer frequent relapses.
For non-surgical correction of inflammatory changes in prostate tissue, drug treatment regimens, hardware physiotherapy procedures, therapeutic exercises, massage, as well as additional methods of alternative medicine are used.
Drug therapy
Deals with the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostateurologist. If a man discovers the first symptoms of this disease, he is recommended to do it immediatelyundergo a comprehensive examination.
In 45-50% of cases in which prostatitis is diagnosed, the inflammatory lesion of the prostate gland is of an infectious nature. That is why antibacterial drugs are used to influence the cause of the disease.
For the treatment of chronic or acute infectious prostatitisAntibiotics from the group of fluoroquinolones are preferably used. This type of antibacterial agent has increased bioavailability and high penetration into prostate tissue.
The total duration of antibiotic therapy for infectious prostatitis is at least 3 months.
If antibacterial therapyDrugs from the group of fluoroquinolones turned out to be ineffective; patients are prescribed drugs from the group of lincosamides or penicillins.
In case of provocation of chlamydia diseaseAntibiotics from the tetracycline group are included in complex therapy.
It is important to remember that taking antibacterial drugs is prescribed for each man individually. A urologist should create a treatment plan. Any attempt to independently prescribe medications and their dosages can have negative consequences.
Rectal suppositories
Medicines produced in the form of rectal suppositories (suppositories),are one of the most effective ways to stopinflammatory reaction in the prostate.
When diagnosing an acute or chronic form of this disease, specialists can prescribe itTypes of rectal suppositories:
- Suppositories with opium alkaloid, isoquinoline derivative. These medicines have an antispasmodic and analgesic effect. In addition, under the influence of suppositories, local blood circulation in the prostate improves.
- Candles with ammonium bitumen sulfonate. Ichthyol suppositories have bactericidal, analgesic and metabolic properties, due to which their action improves local blood circulation in the prostate area.
- Candles with Belladonna herbal extract. The natural extract of this plant has a pronounced analgesic, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effect. In terms of the intensity of the therapeutic effect, belladonna extract is in no way inferior to NSAIDs.
- Phenylacetic acid derivative in the form of rectal suppositories. With acute inflammation of the prostate, men are prescribed rectal suppositories, which quickly relieve inflammation and reduce the intensity of pain.
- Suppositories based on prostate extract. This drug option is effective for sexual disorders that occur against the background of inflammatory lesions of the prostate. In addition, these suppositories effectively cope with congestion of the gland and prevent the formation of blood clots.
- Rectal suppositories with prostate extract and solid fat. This complex drug is effective not only against prostatitis, but also against diagnosed male infertility, reduced erectile function and prostate adenoma.
Hormonal medications
One of the most common complications of prostatitis isdecreased erectile functionwith a man. To restore it and normalize hormonal levels, as well as reduce the intensity of the development of the inflammatory process, men with inflammatory lesions of the prostate are often prescribed hormonal drugs.
The most popular is a drug based on synthetic estrogens with a non-steroidal structure. Under the influence of this biologically active compound, the recovery processes of damaged glandular tissue are accelerated and blood supply is improved.
Alpha blockers
Men suffering from acute or chronic prostatitis have serious problems with urination. With inflammatory damage to the prostate, emptying the bladder becomes difficult, pain, pain, discomfort, an intermittent stream of urine and frequent urge to urinate appear.
Medicines from the group of alpha blockershelp eliminate muscle spasms in the pelvic area. Thanks to the relaxation of the smooth muscles, the urge to urinate is normalized.
Muscle relaxants
With the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate, spasm of the pelvic floor muscles often occurs, as a result of which the outflow of prostatic secretion and urine from the bladder is disrupted.
Use of muscle relaxants in injection or tablet formhelps to reduce muscle tone, relieve pain and normalize the outflow of biological fluids.
Immunostimulants
An important part of the complex treatment of prostatitis is strengthening the defenses of the male body, especially when it comes to infectious and inflammatory damage to prostate tissue.
Have a strong immune-stimulating effectcomplex multivitamin preparations, contains folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, selenium and zinc.
Another common drug from the group of immunostimulants is a product based on meglumine acridone acetate. The immunostimulating effect of this drug is due to the fact that when it enters the human body, the production of interferon, which is responsible for the body's immune defense, is accelerated.
Taking an immunostimulant and multivitamin complexes can not only accelerate recovery in acute prostatitis, but also reduce the risk of relapse in the chronic form of the disease.
Complex medications
In addition to the listed groups of drugs for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate, urology specialists prescribe complex drugs that have a diverse effect on the male body.Among the most effective medicationscontain:
- Antiandrogenic agent. This medicine is available in tablet form and is most often used for prophylactic purposes.
- A preparation based on creeping palm extract. Numerous clinical studies have shown that this drug effectively combats not only inflammatory lesions of the prostate, but also hyperplastic changes in prostate adenomas.
- The product prostate extract is available in the form of rectal suppositories and tablets. Its active ingredients improve blood supply to the organ, eliminate muscle spasms and reduce pain intensity.
- A medicine whose main active ingredient is natural algae extract. The drug effectively eliminates signs of an inflammatory reaction in the body and normalizes blood supply to the prostate.
Before taking any of the listed medications, it is recommended to consult a urologist and undergo a comprehensive medical examination.
physical therapy
An effective means of combating the chronic form of prostatitis is hardware physiotherapy techniques.
If a chronic form of prostatitis is diagnosed, a man may be prescribed onephysiotherapeutic methods:
- Electrophoresiswith taking medication,
- Exposure to direct electric current(galvanization),
- Ultrasonic influenceUsing a rectal sensor,
- Magnetic field therapy,
- Use of high frequency currents. For this purpose, separate devices are used that generate high-frequency pulses. A direct effect on the area where the prostate is located is achieved by the introduction of a rectal emitter.
Selection of types of physiotherapeutic effectsas well as the creation of an individual treatment plan should be undertaken by the treating urologist or physiotherapist.
Physiotherapeutic techniques mentionedhave a minimal list of contraindications and side effects, therefore their use is permitted in combination with drug therapy, massage and gymnastics.
Prostate massage
Manual impact on the area where the prostate is located helps to improve blood circulation in this area, reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process, stimulate the release of secretions and normalize metabolic processes in the organ.
Manual prostate stimulationcan be carried out either by a specialist in a doctor's office or independently.
Prostate self-massage can be done by a man at home. However, before you start self-medication, you need to consult the attending urologist, master the massage technique, and also familiarize yourself with the structural features of the rectum. Improper contact with this area can cause traumatic damage to the mucous membrane of the rectal area.
The massage is done through the anus area. When performing a massage, the doctor or the man himself must monitor the outflow of glandular secretions from the urethra. If there is no discharge of this type, this may indicate the development of complications of prostatitis, as well as the severity of the inflammatory reaction.
The total number of prostate massage sessions is 10-12 procedures.
Diet therapy
Changing your diet has a positive effect not only on the condition of the male reproductive system, but also on the entire body.
Recommended for eatingthose foods that are digested quickly. The daily diet should include fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts and grains, low-fat meat and fish, and natural dairy products. In addition, regardless of the form of the disease, a man should consume foods rich in zinc and folic acid. Both elements are the basis of men's health.
Strictly forbiddenThese include black tea and coffee, alcoholic drinks, sweet carbonated water, mushrooms, fried and fatty foods, fast food and smoked meats, spices, sauces and spicy dishes.
Any man with inflammatory lesions of the prostateIt is advisable to give up smoking completely, as the chemicals contained in tobacco smoke contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels and disruption of blood flow in the prostate area.
Additional treatments
An effective method for treating and preventing inflammatory lesions of the prostate is heat therapy.
To this endRegular visits to the sauna or steam bath are recommended.
For men suffering from various diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys, it is recommended to avoid heat stress. In addition, visiting a bathhouse or sauna is strictly contraindicated for benign and malignant neoplasms or with severe exacerbation of the inflammatory process.
Before including these measures in the complex treatment of prostatitis,Measures should be coordinated with your doctor.
If a man has no contraindications to visiting a bathhouse, thermal procedures have a tonic effect on his body, improve blood circulation, accelerate metabolic processes in the body and drainage of the prostate.
An equally popular method of treating chronic or acute prostatitis isHirudotherapy or treatment with leeches. The salivary fluid of leeches contains more than 100 biologically active elements that have a positive effect on the human body.
One of the most important components, hirudin, is naturally an anticoagulant. When entering the human body, hirudin prevents the formation of blood clots and improves microcirculation processes.
In addition to hirudin, leech saliva contains histamine-like compounds, acetylcholine and carboxypeptidase inhibitors. Each of these components improves blood flow to the prostate, helping to reduce the inflammatory response.
Hirudotherapy in the complex treatment of prostatitis is contraindicated in men suffering from anemia, blood clotting disorders, diathesis, hypotension, deep vein thrombosis, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory skin lesions.
Any leech treatment should be carried out under the strict supervision of a qualified doctor.
Duration of treatment
Timing of complex drug therapy for inflammatory lesions of the prostatedirectly depend on the neglect of the pathological process, as well as the presence of complications.
If prostatitis occurs in a severe stage, irreversible changes occur in the glandular tissue.
If there is significant damage to the organ, conservative treatment methods can lead to long-term remission, but not recovery. If you contact a specialist in a timely manner, treatment of the disease will take several months, with a tendency to complete recovery.
In contrast to the chronic form of the diseaseAcute prostatitis can be cured in a shorter time.
Surgery when diagnosed with prostatitis is the last resortThe goal is to preserve the remaining healthy areas of glandular tissue and restore the gland's drainage function. Surgical intervention is recommended for men who suffer from severe urinary tract problems and severe pain, and also suffer from complications such as fibrosis of the glandular tissue and the formation of calcifications.
With timely diagnosis and comprehensive treatmentProstatitis is a curable disease that does not threaten a man's health and life.
