Prostate inflammation is quite common. The disease is accompanied by inflammation of the prostate and can cause serious complications if treatment is not started in time. As soon as the first signs of the development of the disease appear, it is the duty of every man to visit a doctor in a timely manner.
Reasons for the development of the disease
The disease usually occurs in men between 25 and 55 years old and is divided into four forms:
- acute bacterial inflammation;
- chronic bacterial prostatitis;
- nonbacterial prostatitis;
- Prostatodynia.
Acute bacterial prostatitis occurs in men under 40 years of age. The development of the disease is provoked by an infection. The cause may be gonorrhea, chlamydia or trichomoniasis. Determining the cause of prostatitis is done through laboratory tests.
Older men often develop chronic prostatitis. This is due to changes in the prostate tissue, resulting in an inflammatory process.
Symptoms of the disease
Important information for men is the signs of the development of the disease, which are divided into several categories:
- the need to urinate frequently;
- burning sensation and pain when urinating;
- pain in the pelvic organs;
- sexual disorders: premature ejaculation, weak erection.
For acute prostatitis, a characteristic symptom is an increase in body temperature.
The course of chronic prostatitis is not accompanied by an increase in temperature and can be asymptomatic. The signs of a chronic inflammatory process are not as pronounced, so it can be difficult to diagnose it yourself.
As soon as the first signs of prostatitis appear, treatment should be started immediately; Otherwise, complications may occur:
- septicemia;
- sterility;
- the need for surgical intervention;
- nephropathy;
- chronic cystitis.
You should start treating prostatitis as soon as possible. This will avoid surgical intervention and the development of complications.
Treatment of the disease
The urologist prescribes a drug treatment once all the necessary tests have been carried out. Treatment may include both medication and physical therapy. Among the proven remedies for prostatitis, traditional treatment methods play an important role.
Tablets for prostatitis are selected by the doctor individually in each case and are antiviral and antibacterial drugs.
A course of physiotherapy using laser exposure and electromagnetic field treatment is often prescribed.
Prostate massage is used as a general tonic to minimize the risk of complications.
During treatment, it is important to follow a healthy diet and take medications to strengthen the body's immune system.
An effective remedy for prostatitis is penicillins and fluoroquinolones. The list of names of drugs with these active ingredients is very large, so the doctor will tell you the exact name of the drug after a detailed examination. Reviews of patients who took these tablets for prostatitis indicate the effectiveness of this treatment.
Supporters of traditional medicine believe that the best cure for prostatitis is preparations based on honey and propolis.
Treatment of various forms of the disease.
To determine the form of the disease, the patient must undergo a complete urological examination and tests. Then the doctor will determine the form of the disease and prescribe effective treatment.
To treat acute inflammation of the prostate, prostatitis pills and pain relievers are prescribed. These tablets are powerful broad spectrum antibiotics. Sometimes treatment may require hospitalization.
The main objective of the treatment of infectious prostatitis is to eliminate the infection that caused the development of the disease. Antibiotics are also used for this. Your doctor will prescribe which medications you should take. Self-treatment with antibiotics without consulting a doctor is undesirable because it is impossible to determine the infection at home.
To effectively treat chronic prostatitis, physiotherapeutic methods are used, in combination with taking medications and strengthening massages.
The most serious form of the disease is bacterial prostatitis. This form is fraught with serious complications if treatment is not started on time.
form of drugs
Drugs are used in different ways to treat the problem. Could be:
- rectal suppositories;
- injections;
- medications in the form of an enema;
- medicines in tablet form.
Rectal suppositories have a good analgesic effect and antibacterial properties. Preparations in the form of suppositories are well and quickly absorbed, which makes such treatment extremely effective. The course of therapy usually lasts up to 10 days.
Injections in the treatment of prostatitis are used so that the drug quickly penetrates the blood. Such treatment involves the use of agents to stimulate the patient's immune system.
Preparations in the form of enemas are widely used in folk medicine. This method involves the introduction of hot herbal infusions and decoctions that have an antibacterial effect. However, prostatitis should not be treated with home remedies alone; To achieve an effect, it is necessary to use an integrated approach that includes both traditional medicine and traditional treatment.
The most popular and effective treatment method is taking pills. Typically, broad-spectrum medications are prescribed: penicillins, tetracyclines, or fluoroquinolones. Feedback from patients about the effectiveness of such products is only positive.
Traditional medicine for prostatitis.
Folk remedies have proven effective in combination with traditional drug therapy. Traditional treatment methods should be used as an auxiliary, and not as the main remedy, for the treatment of prostatitis in men.
Men's opinions on traditional treatment are mixed. This is due to the fact that traditional medicine does not provide immediate relief. Traditional methods involve a long treatment process.
- Candles with propolis and cocoa butter. It is necessary to mix both ingredients, form candles and store them in the refrigerator so that the drug takes the desired shape. The suppositories are administered rectally at night. The course has a minimum duration of one month. Then it is necessary to take a break for 40-60 days and then repeat the course again.
- Shepherd's purse herb is sold in pharmacies and used internally as a decoction. This decoction should be consumed 5 times a day during exacerbation of the disease.
- Asparagus has a good effect on the state of the prostate, so it is recommended to consume freshly squeezed juice throughout the treatment. To achieve tangible results, it is necessary to drink at least 500 ml of juice per day.
- Pumpkin has long been famous for its healing properties. Pumpkin juice and seeds are used for prostatitis. Freshly squeezed pumpkin juice should be taken daily in large quantities. The seeds are a tasty and healthy way to prevent the development of prostatitis in men.
It must be remembered that the disease must be treated immediately when the first signs appear. The initial stage of the disease is highly treatable, while treatment of chronic prostatitis may require surgical intervention.
Disease prevention
To prevent the development of the disease, it is very important to take preventive measures in men.
An important component of preventive measures is proper nutrition. Men's diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables and excessive alcohol consumption should be avoided. Pumpkin seeds are an excellent preventative remedy, so it is extremely important to include them in your daily menu.
Prostatitis is caused by infection, including sexually transmitted infections. Men should avoid unprotected sex.
It should be remembered that interruption of sexual intercourse is an extremely ineffective method of contraception, which can also provoke the development of prostatitis.
Regular physical activity will help avoid stagnant processes in the pelvic organs. Cycling or running are good ways to improve blood circulation in the pelvis.
Prostatitis often develops against a background of reduced immunity. To avoid this, it is necessary to take vitamins and carry out a series of measures to improve the body's immune defenses.
Hypothermia of the pelvic organs is extremely harmful for men. You should make sure your clothing is appropriate for the climate and avoid sitting on cold surfaces.
