For the complex treatment of a certain disease,It is advisable to choose the moment when the pathological process is just beginning in the body.
Due to certain circumstances, it is not always possible to diagnose prostatitis in the initial stages of its development.
Despite the fact that inflammatory damage to the prostate is accompanied by pain, discomfort, urination disorders and other clinical signs, many men postpone a visit to a urologist followed by a comprehensive examination of the body. But long-term untreated prostatitis tends to become chronic with frequent episodes of relapse.
For the non-surgical correction of inflammatory changes in the prostate tissue, drug treatment regimens, hardware physiotherapy procedures, therapeutic exercises, massage, as well as additional methods of alternative medicine are used.
Drug therapy
He deals with the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostateurologist. If a man discovers the first symptoms of this disease, he is advised to immediatelyundergo a comprehensive examination.
In 45-50% of cases diagnosed with prostatitis, the inflammatory lesion of the prostate is infectious in nature. That is why antibacterial drugs are used that affect the cause of the disease.
For the treatment of chronic or acute infectious prostatitisit is preferable to use antibiotics from the fluoroquinolone group. 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 fluoroquinolone group have proven ineffective, patients are prescribed drugs from the lincosamide or penicillin group.
In case of provocation of chlamydial diseaseAntibiotics from the tetracycline group are included in complex therapy.
It is important to remember that the regimen of taking antibacterial drugs is prescribed for each person individually. The urologist should make a treatment plan. Any attempt to independently prescribe drugs and their dosages can lead to negative consequences.
Rectal suppositories
Medicines produced in the form of rectal suppositories (suppositories),are one of the most effective means of stoppinginflammatory reaction in the prostate.
When diagnosing an acute or chronic form of this disease, medical specialists can prescribe ittypes of rectal suppositories:
- Suppositories containing opium alkaloid, an isoquinoline derivative. These drugs have antispasmodic and analgesic effects. In addition, under the influence of suppositories, local blood flow in the prostate improves.
- Candles with ammonium bitumen sulfonate. Ichthyol suppositories have bactericidal, analgesic and metabolic properties, which is why their action improves local blood flow in the prostate area.
- Candles with belladonna 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 not inferior to NSAIDs.
- Phenylacetic acid derivative in the form of rectal suppositories. In acute cases of prostate inflammation, 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 arise against the background of inflammatory lesions of the prostate. In addition, these suppositories effectively deal with blockage in 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 drugs
One of the most common complications of prostatitis isreduced erectile functionin a man. In order to restore and normalize the hormonal level, as well as to reduce the intensity of the development of the inflammatory process, men with inflammatory lesions of the prostate are often prescribed hormonal drugs.
It is the most popular drug based on synthetic estrogen of a non-steroidal structure. Under the influence of this biologically active compound, the processes of restoration of damaged tissue of the gland are accelerated and its blood supply is improved.
Alpha blockers
Men suffering from acute or chronic prostatitis have serious problems with urination. With inflammatory damage to the prostate, the process of emptying the bladder becomes difficult, pain, discomfort, occasional stream of urine and frequent urge to urinate appear.
Medicines from the group of alpha-blockers, whichthey help to eliminate muscle spasms in the pelvic area. Thanks to the relaxation of smooth muscles, the act of urination is normalized.
Muscle relaxants
With the development of the inflammatory process in the prostate, spasm of the muscles of the pelvic floor often occurs, due to which the outflow of prostate secretions and urine from the bladder is disturbed.
Using injectable or tablet forms of muscle relaxantshelps to reduce muscle tone, reduce pain and normalize the outflow of biological fluids.
Immunostimulants
An important part of the complex treatment of prostatitis is strengthening the defense forces of the male organism, especially when it comes to infectious and inflammatory damage to the prostate tissue.
They have a strong immunostimulating effectcomplex multivitamin preparations, which 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, it accelerates the production of interferon, which is responsible for the immune defense of the body.
Taking immunostimulants and multivitamin complexes can not only speed up recovery in acute prostatitis, but also reduce the risk of relapse in the chronic form of the disease.
Complex medicines
In addition to the mentioned groups of drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate, specialists in the field of urology prescribe complex drugs that have multiple effects on the male body.To the most effective medicinesinclude:
- Antiandrogenic agent. This medicine is available in tablet form and is most often used for prophylactic purposes.
- Preparation based on creeping palm extract. Numerous clinical trials have proven that this drug effectively fights not only against inflammatory lesions of the prostate, but also hyperplastic changes in prostate adenoma.
- The prostate extract product is available as rectal suppositories and tablets. Its active components improve the blood supply to the organs, remove muscle spasms and reduce the intensity of pain.
- A medicine whose main active ingredient is natural seaweed extract. The drug effectively removes the signs of an inflammatory reaction in the body and normalizes blood flow to the prostate.
Before using any of the mentioned drugs, it is recommended to consult a urologist and undergo a comprehensive medical examination.
Physiotherapy
Hardware physiotherapy techniques are an effective way of combating the chronic form of prostatitis.
If a chronic form of prostatitis is diagnosed, a man can be prescribed itphysiotherapy methods:
- electrophoresiswith the use of medication,
- exposure to direct current(galvanizing),
- ultrasonic impactusing a rectal sensor,
- magnetotherapy,
- use of high frequency currents. For this purpose, separate devices that generate high-frequency pulses are used. A direct effect on the area where the prostate is located is achieved by introducing a rectal emitter.
Choice of types of physiotherapeutic effects, as well as compiling an individual schedule of procedures should be dealt with by the attending urologist or physiotherapist.
Mentioned physiotherapeutic techniqueshave a minimal list of contraindications and side effects, therefore their use is allowed in combination with drug therapy, massage and gymnastics.
Prostate massage
Manual action on the area where the prostate is located helps improve blood flow in this area, reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process, stimulate the secretion of secretions, as well as normalize metabolic processes in the organ.
Manual prostate stimulationcan be performed by a specialist doctor in the doctor's office or independently.
Self-massage of the prostate can be performed by a man at home, but before starting self-treatment it is necessary to consult with a urologist, master the massage technique, and also familiarize yourself with the structural characteristics of the rectum. Incompetent exposure to this area can lead to traumatic damage to the mucosa of the rectal area.
The massage is performed through the anus area. During the massage, the doctor or the man himself must monitor the release of glandular secretions from the urethra. If there is no discharge of this nature, it 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
Diet revision has a beneficial effect not only on the condition of the male reproductive system, but also on the whole body as a whole.
Recommended for eatingthose foods that are quickly digested. The daily diet should contain fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts and cereals, low-fat meat and fish, and natural dairy products. In addition, regardless of the form of the disease, a man should eat foods rich in zinc and folic acid. Both elements are the basis of men's health.
Strictly prohibitedincludes black tea and coffee, alcoholic beverages, sweet carbonated waters, mushrooms, fried and fatty foods, fast foods and smoked meats, spices, sauces and spicy dishes.
Any man with inflammatory lesions of the prostateIt is recommended to stop smoking completely, since 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 way to treat and prevent inflammatory lesions of the prostate is heat therapy.
In that purposeregular visits to the sauna or steam bath are indicated.
It is recommended to avoid heat stress for those men who suffer from various diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys. In addition, a visit to a swimming pool or sauna is strictly contraindicated in case of benign and malignant neoplasms or severe exacerbation of the inflammatory process.
Before including these measures in the complex treatment of prostatitis,Actions should be coordinated with your doctor.
If a man has no contraindications for visiting the spa, then the thermal procedures will have a tonic effect on his body, improve blood circulation, accelerate metabolic processes in the body and prostate drainage.
An equally popular method of treating chronic or acute prostatitis ishirudotherapy or leech treatment. The salivary fluid of leeches contains more than 100 biologically active elements that have a beneficial effect on the human body.
One of the most important components, hirudin, is anticoagulant in nature. When it enters 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 for men suffering from anemia, blood clotting disorders, diathesis, hypotension, deep vein thrombosis, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory skin lesions.
Any leech treatment should be performed under the strict supervision of a qualified medical professional.
Duration of treatment
Time of complex drug therapy for inflammatory lesions of the prostateit directly depends on the neglect of the pathological process, as well as the presence of complications.
If prostatitis occurs in a severe stage, it causes irreversible changes in the tissue of the glands.
If the organ is significantly damaged, conservative treatment methods can lead to long-term remission, but not recovery. If you consult a specialist doctor in a timely manner, the treatment of the disease will last several months with the tendency of complete recovery.
Unlike the chronic form of the disease,acute prostatitis can be cured in a short time.
Surgery for diagnosed prostatitis is a last resort, which is aimed at preserving the remaining healthy areas of glandular tissue, as well as restoring the drainage function of the gland. Surgical intervention is recommended for those men who suffer from severe urination disorders, intense pain, and have complications such as fibrosis of the gland 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.
