For complex treatment of a specific disease,It is recommended 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 gland is accompanied by pain, discomfort, urination disorders and other clinical signs, many men delay the visit to a urologist and a comprehensive examination of the body follows. However, long-term prostatitis that is not treated tends to become chronic with frequent episodes of recurrence.
For non-surgical correction of inflammatory changes in the prostatic tissue, therapeutic regimens of medication, material physiotherapy procedures, therapeutic exercises, massage, as well as additional methods of alternative medicine are used.
Pharmacotherapy
It deals with the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostateurologist. If a man discovers the first symptoms of this disease, it is recommended to do so immediatelyundergo a comprehensive examination.
In 45-50% of cases diagnosed with prostatitis, the inflammatory lesion of the prostate gland is infectious in nature. This is why antibacterial drugs are used to affect the cause of the disease.
For the treatment of chronic or acute infectious prostatitisit is better to use antibiotics from the group of fluoroquinolones. This type of antibacterial agent has increased bioavailability and high penetration into prostate tissue.
The total duration of antibiotic treatment for infectious prostatitis is at least 3 months.
If antibacterial treatmentdrugs from the fluoroquinolone group proved ineffective, patients are prescribed drugs from the group of lincosamides or penicillins.
In case of chlamydial diseaseAntibiotics from the group of tetracyclines are included in the complex treatment.
It is important to remember that the regimen of taking antibacterial drugs is prescribed for each man individually. The urologist must draw up a treatment plan. Any attempts to independently prescribe drugs and their dosages can lead to negative consequences.
Rectal suppositories
Medicines prepared in the form of rectal suppositories (suppositories),it is one of the most effective means of stoppinginflammatory reaction in the prostate gland.
When diagnosing an acute or chronic form of this disease, specialist doctors can prescribe suchtypes of rectal suppositories:
- Suppositories containing an opium alkaloid, an isoquinoline derivative. These pharmaceutical drugs have an antispasmodic and analgesic effect. In addition, under the influence of suppositories, local blood flow to the prostate gland improves.
- Candles with ammonium asphalt sulfonate. Ichthyol suppositories have bactericidal, analgesic and metabolic properties, due to which their action improves local blood flow in the prostate area.
- Candles with belladonna herb extract. The natural extract of this plant has a strong 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 inflammation in the prostate gland, 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 arising in the context of inflammatory lesions of the prostate. In addition, these suppositories effectively treat congestion 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 functionto a man. To restore and normalize hormonal levels, as well as to reduce the intensity of the development of the inflammatory process, men with inflammatory prostate lesions are often prescribed hormonal drugs.
The most popular is a drug based on synthetic estrogen of a non-steroidal structure. Under the influence of this biologically active compound, the restoration processes of the damaged tissue of the gland are accelerated and the blood supply is improved.
Alpha blockers
Men suffering from acute or chronic prostatitis have serious problems with urination. With inflammatory damage to the prostate gland, the process of emptying the bladder becomes difficult, pain, pain, discomfort, intermittent flow of urine and frequent urge to urinate appear.
Drugs from the group of alpha-blockers, whichhelp eliminate muscle spasms in the pelvic area. Thanks to the relaxation of the smooth muscles, the act of urination 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 disturbed.
Use of injectable or tablet 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 of the man's body, especially when it comes to infectious and inflammatory damage to the prostate tissue.
They have a strong 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 acridone meglumine 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 body's immune defense.
Taking an immunostimulant and multivitamin complexes can not only speed up recovery in acute prostatitis, but also reduce the risk of another relapse in the chronic form of the disease.
Complex drugs
Along with the mentioned groups of pharmaceutical 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.In the most effective drugsinclude:
- Antiandrogenic agent. This pharmaceutical drug 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 drug effectively fights not only inflammatory lesions of the prostate, but also hyperplastic changes in prostate adenoma.
- The prostate extract product is available in the form of rectal suppositories and tablets. Its active ingredients improve blood supply to the organ, eliminate muscle spasms and reduce the intensity of pain.
- A drug 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 mentioned drugs, it is recommended to consult a urologist and undergo a comprehensive medical examination.
Physiotherapy
An effective way to combat the chronic form of prostatitis is material physiotherapy techniques.
If a chronic form of prostatitis is diagnosed, such a man can be prescribedphysiotherapy methods:
- electrophoresiswith the use of drugs,
- exposure to direct current(galvanizing),
- ultrasonic influenceusing rectal sensor,
- magnetotherapy,
- use of high frequency currents. For this purpose, separate devices that generate high-frequency pulses are used. Direct effect on the area where the prostate gland is located is achieved by inserting a rectal emitter.
Selection of types of physical therapy results, as well as the drawing up of an individual program of procedures should be handled by the treating urologist or physical therapist.
The physical therapy techniques mentionedhave a minimal list of contraindications and side effects, therefore their use is allowed in combination with medicinal therapy, massage and exercise.
Prostate massage
The manual effect 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 normalize metabolic processes in the organ.
Manual prostate stimulationit can be performed either by a specialist doctor in the doctor's office or independently.
Self-massage of the prostate gland can be performed by a man at home, but before starting self-treatment, it is necessary to consult the treating urologist, learn the massage technique, and also familiarize yourself with the structural features of the rectum. Improper exposure to this area can lead to traumatic damage to the mucous membrane of the rectal area.
The massage is performed through the anus area. When performing a massage, the doctor or the man himself must monitor the discharge 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
Revising the diet has a beneficial effect not only on the state of the male reproductive system, but also on the whole body as a whole.
It is recommended to eatthose foods that are digested quickly. The daily diet should include 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, the man should eat foods rich in zinc and folic acid. Both elements form the basis of men's health.
It is strictly forbiddenincludes black tea and coffee, alcoholic beverages, sweet carbonated waters, mushrooms, fried and fatty foods, fast food and smoked meats, spices, sauces and spicy dishes.
Any man with inflammatory lesions of the prostateIt is recommended that you stop smoking completely, since the chemicals contained in cigarette smoke contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels and the interruption of blood flow to the prostate area.
Additional treatments
An effective way to treat and prevent inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland is heating therapy.
At this endregular visits to the sauna or steam bath are recommended.
It is recommended to avoid heat stress for those men suffering from various diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys. In addition, visiting a bath 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 to visiting a bathhouse, then thermal procedures will have a tonic effect on his body, improve blood circulation, accelerate metabolic processes in the body and drain the prostate.
An equally popular method of treatment of chronic or acute prostatitis isirudotherapy or leech therapy. Leech saliva contains more than 100 biologically active elements that have a beneficial effect on the human body.
One of the most important ingredients, hirudin, is anticoagulant in nature. 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 ingredients improves blood flow to the prostate gland, helping to reduce the inflammatory response.
Irudotherapy in the complex treatment of prostatitis is contraindicated in men suffering from anemia, blood coagulation disorders, mood, hypotension, deep vein thrombosis, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory skin lesions.
Each leech treatment session should be carried out under the close supervision of a qualified physician.
duration of treatment
Schedule of complex drug therapy for inflammatory lesions of the prostatedirectly depend on the neglect of the pathological process, as well as on 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 time, the treatment of the disease will last 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 to restore the draining function of the gland. Surgery is recommended for those men who suffer from severe urinary disorders, severe pain and also have complications such as fibrosis of the gland tissue and formation of calcifications.
With early diagnosis and comprehensive treatmentProstatitis is a curable disease that does not threaten a man's health and life.
