Prostatitis is commonly referred to as inflammation that causes tissue edema and closes the male prostate gland, which is located just below the bladder. The treatment of prostatitis today occurs through many modern methods, including antibiotic therapy, physiotherapy, hirudotherapy, herbal medicine, immunocorrection therapy, prostate massage, and lifestyle corrections.
When a patient is admitted to a medical institution, the doctor examines the patient for the causes of prostatitis. The treatment of the disease will be determined precisely depending on what factors contribute to the onset of the disease.
Treatment of prostatitis begins with a diagnosis of the disease, which, first of all, includes an interview with a urologist. Then the doctor continues to examine the patient's abdomen and genitals, touches the prostate gland with his fingers, inserting them into the rectum. During this test, the doctor can diagnose enlargement, swelling and tenderness of the prostate gland.
After a rectal examination, the urologist instructs the patient to donate semen, urine and prostate secretions. This test allows you to assess the presence or absence of signs of infection in it. Sometimes semen culture is needed.
The appointment of a urodynamic study will allow the doctor to understand how severe the effects of the disease are on the urination process.
Transktal ultrasound and ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder allow urologists to assess the amount and structure of the prostate gland, the amount of urine remaining, the presence of tumors or stones in the bladder, the presence of blood clots or stones in the lower third of the ureter.
Based on the above analysis and studies, urologists prescribe therapy for dangerous and incurable diseases such as prostatitis. Prostatitis treatment will give positive results only if it is complex and it is chosen by a competent doctor.
Antibacterial treatment of prostatitis
Because inflammation of the prostate gland is often contagious, doctors prescribe prostatitis treatment as antibiotic therapy. Treatment results will be positive only if the urologist chooses the right therapy, and the patient adheres to the prescribed therapy. It should be noted that the course of initiated antibiotic therapy can not be stopped - in this way it is not possible to harm the diseased organs, but also the whole body as a whole.
The patient should inform the doctor of any changes, sometimes insignificant, in his or her body. If the patient does not feel any change for 2-3 days of treatment, the doctor should replace the antibiotic with another, but not cancel it.
The most frequently prescribed medication for treatment is a broad-spectrum drug - penicillin.
Also, modern medicine uses fluoroquinolone group agents. Microbes do not have resistance to these drugs - this is one of the most important qualities of this group of antibiotics.
In addition, many doctors prescribe tetracycline group medications for treatment.
Highly effective new generation drugs are sometimes used. They can only be used after consulting a doctor.
Antibacterial treatment of prostatitis in patients with chronic prostatitis lasts about one and a half months. In further cases, the treatment of prostatitis is extended to 16 weeks. Occasionally, during antibiotic therapy, patients develop intestinal dysbiosis. Accordingly, the patient is prescribed medication that restores the intestinal microflora.
Dosage and dosage regimen are prescribed by the urologist in each case individually.
Physiotherapy activities
The treatment of prostatitis through physiotherapy consists of the use of various methods, the main ones are ultrasound, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, magnetotherapy, microwave therapy, UHF, galvanization, medical electrophoresis, darsonvalization, therapeutic microclycerists, baths, mud procedures.
Ultrasound is used as a high frequency wave that no one can hear.
Laser therapy is a fairly common and almost painless method. This is the effect of the laser beam on diseased organ tissue or on the reflexogenic zone.
Treatment of prostatitis with electrical stimulation is the effect of electric impulse currents that cause muscle contraction in the organs. Electrical stimulation is divided into the rectum, perineum and urethra.
Magnetotherapy is the treatment of prostatitis by contact with a low frequency field of constant magnetism and alternation in the affected organ tissue.
Microwave therapy is the effect of a high frequency electromagnetic field on the affected tissue.
UHF is a complex of therapeutic measures using a capacitor plate connected to a tissue.
Galvanization is a method of treatment by supplying small continuous current and low voltage.
Drug electrophoresis is a simultaneous effect on low-strength direct current tissue and special drugs introduced into the tissue with its help. Current increases the activity of ions in tissues, while the pharmacological effects of the drug occur.
Darsonvalization is a method of treatment using high frequency high voltage pulses, low power, and rapid extinguishing.
Medical microclucer - an enema, used for various herbal injections and decoctions.
Baths used to treat this disease are prescribed as a general or local sedative. During bathing, different medicinal liquids with different temperatures are used.
Mud procedure - use of healing mud. Treatment can include the use of an external mud application or inserting a swab of mud into the anus.
Hirudotherapy
Leeches are a wonderful gift from nature to mankind. With the help of these living things, many diseases can be cured, including prostatitis. Treatment of prostatitis with leeches occurs according to the following scheme: leeches are placed at a point located 3 cm from the anus (anus), and the arrangement should resemble the letter "X". The middle part of the letter is the anus, the tip of the letter is the location of the leech.
Slightly different treatment methods are also widely used: leeches are mounted, departing from the perineum midline suture about 2 cm in each direction. It is not recommended to place the leeches directly on the crotch seam. This course is about 4-5 treatment procedures. In one session, 4 leeches were used. After each session, rest 5-6 days.
Herbal medicine
Physiotherapy is a complex of therapeutic measures with medicinal tinctures, decoctions, juices, infusions made from medicinal plants. Some of these drugs should be taken internally, while others are used externally, injected into the urethra. Herbal medicine is an additional treatment that helps the body cope with the disease more quickly.
The bark, seeds, roots, buds and rhizomes of plants are commonly used to make decoctions, for infusions - flowers, leaves, grass and stems. There are a large number of recipes for the preparation of medicines.
One of the most popular recipes is an infusion of birch buds and oats mixed with an infusion of rosehip (1: 1), which is drunk half a glass 1 or 2 times a day.
Skin texture of horse chestnut fruit (pour 250 ml 25 g of finely chopped skin, insist in the dark for 10 days, shaking occasionally). After that, strain the tincture, take 30 drops 3 times a day.
Squeeze the juice from the parsley and mix with any honey (1: 1), use 2 tablespoons 3 times a day. spoon.
Treatment of immune prostatitis
Prostatitis treatment also includes increased immunity and activating the body's defenses. In this case, the doctor prescribes immunocorrective therapy. It includes the intake of various vitamins, immunomodulators, biostimulants, herbal medicines and other means by patients.
The use of afala by patients with chronic prostatitis, whose treatment is carried out comprehensively, increases the effectiveness of therapy and contributes to the preservation of longer outcomes. This drug is well tolerated and has no contraindications. It can be combined with other therapies. Afala is indicated for patients with category II and III A chronic prostatitis from the first day of treatment.
Prostate massage
Treatment of prostatitis with prostate massage is an unpleasant, but very effective way to cure the disease. The massage is performed by an experienced doctor. First, with the help of a sheathed index finger, he felt the prostate gland, tried to improve its parameters, pain level, right and left lobe ratio of the gland, and even to check the quality of mucus in the rectum. After that, the doctor directly begins the massage procedure itself.
Lifestyle correction
To prevent blood stasis in the prostate gland, patients must move a lot, walk, play sports, and so on.
The appearance of prostatitis is very often provoked by an inactive lifestyle, inactive work, infrequent sexual intercourse. They cause blood clots in the prostate gland. In this situation, for therapeutic purposes, the patient is given physical activity (feasible), rehabilitative gymnastics, walking in the fresh air, special diet, etc.
Therefore, complex treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis should include:
- antibiotic therapy (only in patients with chronic infectious prostatitis, including latent);
- symptomatic treatment to eliminate the main manifestations of the disease;
- Pathogenetic therapy aims to restore microcirculation in the prostate, restore drainage of the prostate gland along the excretory tract, normalize urination, stabilize the immune system and hormones, prevent the formation of excess fibrous tissue.
There are many signs that indicate to the patient that prostatitis has "settled" in his body. Treatment of this disease is very difficult and long-term, giving positive results only if the patient adheres to all urological prescriptions strictly.
