For complex treatment of a specific disease,It is recommended to choose the time when the pathological process is just beginning in the body.
Due to certain circumstances, it is not always possible to diagnose prostatitis in the early stages of its development.
Despite the fact that inflammatory damage to the prostate gland is accompanied by pain, discomfort, urinary disorders and other clinical signs, many men delay a visit to a urologist followed by a complete examination of the body. But long-term untreated prostatitis tends to become chronic, with frequent episodes of relapse.
For non-surgical correction of inflammatory changes in prostate tissue, drug treatment regimens, hardware physiotherapy procedures, therapeutic exercises, massages, as well as additional methods of alternative medicine are used.
Drug therapy
Dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostateurologist. If a man discovers the first symptoms of this disease, he is advised immediatelypass a comprehensive examination.
In 45-50% of cases of prostatitis diagnosis, the inflammatory lesion of the prostate is infectious in nature. This is why antibacterial medications are used to influence 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 turned out to be ineffective, patients receive drugs from the lincosamide group or penicillins.
In case of provocation of the disease by chlamydiaAntibiotics from the tetracycline group are included in complex therapy.
It is important to remember that the regimen for using antibacterial drugs is prescribed for each man individually. A urologist must draw up a treatment plan. Any attempt to independently prescribe medications and their dosages can lead to negative consequences.
Rectal suppositories
Medicines made 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, medical specialists may prescribe suchtypes of rectal suppositories:
- Suppositories containing opium alkaloid, isoquinoline derivative. These medications have an antispasmodic and analgesic effect. Also, under the influence of suppositories, local blood flow in the prostate gland improves.
- Candles with bituminous ammonium sulfonate. Ichthyol suppositories have bactericidal, analgesic and metabolic properties, due to which their action improves local blood flow in the prostate region.
- Candles with belladonna herb 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 medication option is effective for sexual disorders that arise against the background of inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland. In addition, these suppositories effectively deal with gland congestion and prevent the formation of blood clots.
- Rectal suppositories with prostate extract and solid fat. This complex medicine is effective not only against prostatitis, but also against diagnosed male infertility, decreased erectile function and prostate adenoma.
Hormonal drugs
One of the most common complications of prostatitis isdecreased erectile functionin 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 synthetic estrogen-based drug with a non-steroidal structure. Under the influence of this biologically active compound, the processes of restoration of damaged glandular tissue are accelerated and its blood supply is improved.
Alpha blockers
Men suffering from acute or chronic prostatitis have serious problems urinating. With inflammatory damage to the prostate gland, the process of emptying the bladder becomes difficult, pain, pain, discomfort, intermittent stream of urine and frequent urge to urinate appear.
Medicines from the alpha-blocker group, whichhelp eliminate muscle spasms in the pelvic region. It is thanks to the relaxation of smooth muscles that the act of urinating is normalized.
Muscle relaxants
With the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate gland, a spasm of the pelvic floor muscles often occurs, as a result of which the outflow of prostate secretions and urine from the bladder is disrupted.
Using injectable or tablet forms of muscle relaxantshelps reduce muscle tone, reduce pain and normalize the outflow of biological fluids.
Immunostimulants
An important part of the complex treatment of prostatitis is the strengthening of the man's body's defenses, especially when it comes to infectious and inflammatory damage to the prostate tissue.
Has a powerful immunostimulating effectcomplex multivitamin preparations, containing folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, selenium and zinc.
Another common drug from the group of immunostimulants is a product based on meglumine acetate and acridone. The immunostimulating effect of this drug is due to the fact that, upon entering the human body, the production of interferon, which is responsible for the body's immune defense, is accelerated.
Taking immunostimulant and multivitamin complexes can not only speed up recovery from acute prostatitis, but also reduce the risk of another relapse into the chronic form of the disease.
Complex drugs
Along with the listed groups of drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland, specialists in the field of urology prescribe complex drugs that have a multifaceted effect on the male body.For the most effective medicinesinclude:
- 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 trials have proven that this medicine effectively fights not only inflammatory lesions of the prostate, but also hyperplastic changes in prostate adenoma.
- Prostate extract is available in the form of suppositories and rectal tablets. Its active components improve blood supply to the organ, eliminate muscle spasms and reduce pain intensity.
- A medicine whose main active ingredient is natural seaweed extract. The drug effectively eliminates the signs of an inflammatory reaction in the body and normalizes the blood supply to the prostate gland.
Before using any of the listed medications, it is recommended to consult a urologist and undergo a complete medical examination.
Physiotherapy
An effective way to combat the chronic form of prostatitis is hardware physiotherapy techniques.
If a chronic form of prostatitis is diagnosed, a man may be prescribed suchphysiotherapy methods:
- electrophoresiswith the use of medications,
- exposure to direct electrical current(galvanizing),
- ultrasonic influenceusing a rectal sensor,
- magnetotherapy,
- 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 introducing a rectal emitter.
Selection of types of physiotherapeutic effects, as well as the preparation of an individual schedule of procedures must be carried out by the responsible urologist or physiotherapist.
Physiotherapeutic techniques mentionedhas a minimum list of contraindications and side effects, therefore its use is allowed in combination with drug therapy, massage and gymnastics.
Prostate massage
Manual influence on the area where the prostate gland is located helps to improve blood flow in this area, reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process, stimulate the discharge of secretions, and also normalize metabolic processes in the organ.
Manual prostate stimulationIt can be performed by a specialist doctor in a doctor's office or independently.
Self-massage of the prostate can be performed by a man at home, but before starting self-medication it is necessary to consult the responsible urologist, master the massage technique and also familiarize yourself with the structural characteristics of the rectum. Inept exposure to this area can cause traumatic damage to the mucous membrane of the rectal area.
The massage is performed in the anus area. When performing a massage, the doctor or the man himself must monitor the secretion of glandular secretions from the urethra. If there is no discharge of this nature, 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
A review of the diet has a beneficial effect not only on the state of the male reproductive system, but also on the entire body.
Recommended to eatthose foods that are digested quickly. The daily diet should include fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts and grains, low-fat meat and fish, and natural dairy products. Furthermore, regardless of the form of the disease, men should eat foods rich in zinc and folic acid. Both elements are the basis of men's health.
Strictly forbiddenincludes black tea and coffee, alcoholic beverages, carbonated sweet waters, mushrooms, fried and fatty foods, fast food and smoked meats, seasonings, sauces and spicy dishes.
Every man with inflammatory lesions of the prostateIt is advisable to completely stop smoking, 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 prostate lesions is heating therapy.
To this endRegular visits to the sauna or Turkish bath are recommended.
It is recommended to avoid heat stress for men who suffer from various diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys. In addition, visiting the bathhouse 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 must be coordinated with your doctor.
If a man has no contraindications to visiting the bathhouse, 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. Leech salivary fluid 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. Entering the human body, hirudin prevents the formation of blood clots and improves microcirculatory processes.
In addition to hirudin, leech saliva contains compounds similar to histamine, 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.
Each leech treatment session should be performed under the supervision of a qualified medical professional.
Duration of treatment
Timing of complex drug therapy for inflammatory lesions of the prostatedirectly depend on the abandonment of the pathological process, as well as the presence of complications.
If prostatitis occurs in a severe stage, it causes irreversible changes in the glandular tissue.
If the organ is significantly damaged, conservative treatment methods can lead to long-term remission, but not recovery. If you contact a specialist doctor in a timely manner, treatment of the disease will take several months, with a tendency to complete recovery.
Unlike the chronic form of the disease,acute prostatitis can be cured in less time.
Surgery for diagnosed prostatitis is a last resort, which aims to preserve the remaining healthy areas of glandular tissue, as well as restore the gland's drainage function. Surgical intervention is recommended for men who suffer from severe urinary disorders, severe pain and also have 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 human health and life.
