For complex treatment of certain diseases,It is recommended to choose the moment when the new pathological process begins 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 disturbances and other clinical signs, many men postpone a visit to a urologist followed by a thorough examination of the body. But long-term untreated prostatitis tends to become chronic with frequent recurring episodes.
For 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
Dealing with the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate glandurologist. If a man finds the first symptoms of this disease, he is advised to immediatelyundergo a comprehensive examination.
In 45-50% of cases of diagnosis of prostatitis, inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland are infectious. That 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 fluoroquinolone group. Antibacterial agents of this type have increased bioavailability and high penetration into the prostate tissue.
The total duration of antibiotic therapy for infectious prostatitis is at least 3 months.
If antibacterial therapydrugs from the fluoroquinolone group proved ineffective, patients were given drugs from the lincosamides or penicillin group.
In case of provocation of chlamydia diseaseAntibiotics from the tetracycline group are included in complex therapy.
It is important to remember that the regimen for taking antibacterial drugs is prescribed for each man individually. The urologist should make a treatment plan. Any attempt to independently prescribe the drug and its dosage can lead to negative consequences.
Rectal suppositories
Medicines made in the form of rectal suppositories (suppositories),is one of the most effective ways to quitinflammatory response in the prostate gland.
When diagnosing the acute or chronic form of the disease, medical experts may prescribe suchrectal suppository type:
- Suppositories containing opium alkaloids, derivatives of isoquinoline. These drugs have antispasmodic and analgesic effects. In addition, under the influence of suppositories, local blood flow in the prostate gland improves.
- Wax with ammonium bitumen sulfonate. Ichthyol suppositories have antibacterial, analgesic and metabolic properties, the action of which increases local blood flow in the prostate area.
- Candles with belladonna herbal extract. The natural extract of this plant has pronounced analgesic, antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory effects. In terms of the intensity of the therapeutic effect, belladonna extract is not inferior to NSAIDs.
- Phenylacetic acid derivatives in the form of rectal suppositories. In case of acute 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 against the background of inflammatory lesions of the prostate. In addition, this suppository effectively overcomes congestion in the glands and prevents 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, decreased erectile function and prostate adenoma.
Hormonal drugs
One of the most common complications of prostatitis isdecreased erectile functionon a man. To restore it and normalize hormone levels, as well as reduce the intensity of the development of the inflammatory process, men with prostate inflammatory lesions are often given hormonal drugs.
The most popular are drugs based on synthetic estrogens of a non-steroidal structure. Under the influence of this biologically active compound, the recovery process of damaged gland tissue is accelerated, and its blood supply improves.
Alpha blockers
Men with 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 urine flow, and a frequent urge to urinate appear.
Medicines from the group of alpha blockers, whichhelps relieve muscle spasms in the pelvic area. It is thanks to the relaxation of the smooth muscles that the act of urinating becomes normal.
Relax the muscles
With the development of the inflammatory process in the prostate gland, spasms of the pelvic floor muscles often occur, as a result of which the outflow of prostate secretions and urine from the bladder is disturbed.
Using injectable or tablet forms of muscle relaxantshelps reduce muscle tone, reduce pain and normalize the outflow of biological fluids.
Immunostimulant
An important part of the complex treatment of prostatitis is strengthening the male body's defenses, especially when it comes to infectious and inflammatory damage to the prostate tissue.
Has a strong immunostimulating effectcomplex multivitamin preparations, contains folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, selenium and zinc.
Another common drug from the group of immunostimulants is meglumine acridone acetate-based products. 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 a complex of immunostimulants and multivitamins can not only speed up recovery in acute prostatitis, but also reduce the risk of other relapses in the chronic form of the disease.
Complex drugs
Along with the listed group of drugs used in the treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland, experts in the field of urology prescribe complex drugs that have a multifaceted effect on the male body.To the most effective medicineincluding:
- Antiandrogenic agents. This medicine is available in tablet form and is most often used for prophylactic purposes.
- Preparation based on creeping palm extract. Many clinical trials have proven that this drug is effective against not only inflammatory lesions of the prostate, but also hyperplastic changes in prostate adenomas.
- Prostate extract products are available in the form of rectal suppositories and tablets. Its active components increase blood supply to the organs, eliminate muscle spasms and reduce the intensity of pain.
- Medicine whose main active ingredient is natural seaweed extract. This 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 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 hardware physiotherapy techniques.
If a chronic form of prostatitis is diagnosed, a man can be prescribed as suchphysiotherapy methods:
- electrophoresiswith the use of drugs,
- exposure to direct electric current(galvanization),
- ultrasonic influenceusing a rectal sensor,
- magnetotherapy,
- use of high frequency current. For this purpose, a separate device is used that generates high frequency pulses. A direct effect on the area where the prostate gland is located is achieved by introducing a rectal transmitter.
Selection of types of physiotherapeutic effects, as well as drawing up an individual procedure schedule should be handled by the attending urologist or physiotherapist.
Specified physiotherapeutic techniqueshas a minimal 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 increase blood flow in this area, reduce the intensity of the inflammatory process, stimulate the release of secretions, as well as normalize metabolic processes in the organ.
Manual prostate stimulationcan be done either by a medical specialist in a doctor's office or independently.
Self-massage of the prostate gland can be done by a man at home, but before starting self-treatment, it is necessary to consult with the attending urologist, master the massage technique, and also familiarize yourself with the features of the rectal structure. Improper exposure to this area can cause traumatic damage to the mucous membrane of the rectal area.
Massage is done through the anal area. When performing a 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, this may indicate the development of complications of prostatitis, as well as the severity of the inflammatory reaction.
The total prostate massage session is 10-12 procedures.
Diet therapy
Revising the diet has a good effect not only on the state of the male reproductive system, but also on the whole body as a whole.
Recommended to eatfast digesting food. 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 eat foods rich in zinc and folic acid. Both elements are the basis of men's health.
Totally prohibitedincluding black tea and coffee, alcoholic beverages, sweetened carbonated water, mushrooms, fried and fatty foods, fast food and smoked meats, spices, sauces and spicy dishes.
Every man with an inflammatory lesion of the prostate glandIt is advised to stop smoking completely, because the chemicals contained in tobacco smoke contribute to the narrowing of blood vessels and disruption of blood flow in the prostate area.
Additional treatment
An effective way to treat and prevent inflammatory lesions of the prostate gland is heating therapy.
Until it endsfrequent visits to the sauna or steam bath are indicated.
It is recommended to avoid heat stress for men suffering from various diseases of the cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys. In addition, visiting a bathhouse or sauna is strictly prohibited in the 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 the thermal procedure will have a tonic effect on his body, improve blood circulation, accelerate metabolic processes in the body and drain the prostate gland.
An equally popular method of treating chronic or acute prostatitis ishirudotherapy or treatment with leeches. Leech saliva contains more than 100 biologically active elements that have a beneficial effect on the human body.
One of the most important components, hirudin, has anticoagulant properties. When entering the human body, hirudin prevents the formation of blood clots and improves the process of microcirculation.
In addition to hirudin, leech saliva contains compounds such as histamine, acetylcholine, and carboxypeptidase inhibitors. Each of these components increases blood flow to the prostate gland, 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 done under the close supervision of a qualified medical professional.
Duration of treatment
The timing of complex drug therapy for inflammatory lesions of the prostate glanddirectly 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 gland.
If the organ is significantly damaged, conservative treatment methods can lead to long-term remission, but not to recovery. If you contact a medical specialist in time, the 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 a short time.
Surgery for diagnosed prostatitis is a last resort, which aims to preserve the area of healthy glandular tissue that remains, as well as restore the drainage function of the gland. Surgical intervention is recommended for men who have severe urinary disorders, severe pain, and also have complications such as glandular tissue fibrosis and calcification formation.
With timely diagnosis and comprehensive treatmentProstatitis is a curable disease that does not threaten the health and life of a man.
