The main thing in the treatment of prostatitis is not to waste time

The main reason for the appearance of prostatitis in men is the penetration of infection into the prostate. If detected quickly, the treatment will go almost unnoticed by the patient. This type of prostatitis - acute bacterial - is the easiest to treat. But practice shows that a man's appeal to a urologist with a problem does not occur immediately. Time is lost, an infection that has penetrated the prostate begins its dirty work there. A man turns to a specialist only when very serious symptoms appear - a violation of urination and pain, and this already suggests that the prostatitis has become chronic.

Prostatitis, as most often caused by infections, infects both the urethra and the bladder and the seminal vesicles become inflamed

Along the way, you will have to treat cystitis, urethritis or vesiculitis. Another disorder that prompts a man to visit a urologist: deterioration of erection. Only when faced with a weakening of potency, a man will not wait several years. This hits his pride, it can lead to the destruction of the family. If prostatitis is not treated, this can lead to a deplorable condition of the gland - sclerosis of the prostate, when it cannot function. So why don't men seek help right away?

For various reasons: due to fear and uncertainty, due to their own laziness, due to lack of time. Prostatitis does not go away on its own. This truth must be conveyed to men at a young age, so that the self-confident assertion that I can cure prostatitis easily leaves unenlightened heads forever. Perhaps then the percentage of cases will also decrease. Those who are faced with the problem of treating this sad disease know firsthand that it will take more than a year or two of active lives to constantly communicate with a urologist, to take tests, to buy expensive drugs. For years you will have to limit yourself in many areas of life.

Bacterial chronic prostatitis

Most often, the urologist, based on the results of the research, detects chronic prostatitis. And instead of acute bacterial prostatitis, the diagnosis becomes chronic bacterial prostatitis. And this is a completely different approach to treatment, different procedures, and most importantly and sadly, that it is for life. It's good if a man will strictly follow all the doctor's prescriptions.

Then the acute phase of the disease will be mitigated and remission will occur, which must be maintained by all means and means as long as possible, but if a man treats the treatment carelessly, then the process will be continuous, exhausting and with an unknown continuation, since prostatitis is dangerous for its complications. The genitourinary system does not forgive delays and is not completely cured. It is important that at the time of the announcement of the diagnosis, chronic prostatitis, the man is not left to himself, so that he feels the support of a loved one, otherwise the patient will be overwhelmed by a depressive state, which will further complicate the treatment.

Nonbacterial chronic prostatitis

In addition to chronic bacterial there is also chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. It occurs for a number of reasons: due to weakened immunity, due to the inability to identify the causative agent of inflammation, due to constant stress, due to mechanical damage (trauma), due to improper functioning of the prostate gland, due to unreasonable nutrition , due to a sedentary lifestyle, due to hypothermia.

There are other forms of prostatitis: chronic pelvic pain (untreated diseases due to psychological factors) - difficult to treat.

For whatever reason prostatitis occurs, it is important to start treating it right away

If prostatitis is not treated, it turns into a severe phase, an abscess may occur when purulent inflammation begins, accompanied by high fever, excruciating pain during urination, and between them.

In modern conditions, a treatment regimen for prostatitis has been developed. It includes a number of measures to eliminate symptoms, to destroy the causative agent of inflammation, to combat complications that have arisen. Treatment is carried out medically, with the use of physiotherapy procedures, as well as traditional medicine methods.

Such techniques have been used for many years, have proven to be reliable

Drug treatment is carried out with a wide range of drugs of various actions: antibiotics, hormonal drugs, inhibitors, adrenergic blockers, immunomodulators, biostimulants, antidepressants, vitamins and microelements. Immediately relies on adjusting your lifestyle. This means reasonable physical activity, active rest, exclusion of alcohol, balanced nutrition. Proper nutrition is very important, as the prostate requires special vitamins and minerals.

With the help of antibiotics, they act on the multiplying bacteria in the prostate.Hormonal drugs should restore the changed background. Immunomodulators help the body turn on its reserve forces to fight the disease. Biostimulants, based on animal particles of the prostate, relieve swelling and reduce inflammation. Alpha-blockers facilitate the urinary process and promote the production of secretions. 5 alpha reductase inhibitors inhibit tumor growth. Vitamins A, E, C, PP and mt trace elements zinc and selenium play an important role in improving the functions of the prostate gland. Antidepressants can reduce a patient's nervous tension. It also contributes to the early appearance of positive results from the prescribed treatment.

Physiotherapy procedures in combination with Drug treatment give a positive result

There are many such procedures: electrophoresis (drugs are used simultaneously with the supply of direct current); galvanization (treatment with low voltage current without drugs); electrostimulation, when current is supplied by pulses to the perineum; UHF - an organ is treated with an electric field; magnetotherapy - an organ is treated with a magnetic field; microwave therapy, when a diseased organ is exposed to ultra-high frequencies of a magnetic field; laser treatment; treatment with ultraviolet and infrared radiation.

Another way to help with prostatitis - leeches are placed on the points responsible for the prostate - hirudotherapy. Many urologists consider this treatment to be effective. The leeches, sucking the blood, inject their substance hirudin, which promotes blood thinning; they also improve the blood microcirculation of the inflamed areas. The procedure can only be performed by the attending physician. The setting of leeches has been performed by experienced doctors for many years.

One of the most beneficial procedures for the prostate is its massage

It is carried out by a urologist through the rectum. By pressing on the prostate, several problems are solved at once. Local blood circulation improves, the outflow of secretions increases, drugs penetrate into the affected gland with greater ease, an increase in the muscle tone of the gland occurs.

All of the above treatment methods apply to those patients who managed to see a doctor before the disease passed into the next phase. Most often, against the background of prostatitis, a tumor begins to grow - an adenoma. Adenoma of the prostate also has several stages, its appearance in each case proceeds differently.

In some men, it begins to increase rapidly, in others, this process takes several years

With intensive tumor growth, surgical intervention is indicated, since this neoplasm can turn from BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia) into a malignant tumor, although a large benign tumor is dangerous for a man's health, since the gland, having greatly increased in size, violates all functions of the genitourinary system. Operations are performed in other cases, if blood appears in the urine, with urinary retention, and also in cases when drug treatment does not give positive results.

A man who has not treated prostatitis for several years will certainly face serious complications. He will be exhausted himself, his family will suffer and it is not known what the result of the delayed treatment will be! Therefore, the urologist should be contacted immediately, as not the symptoms of the disease themselves appeared, but a doubt arose whether everything was in order with men's health. And such an argument as "I can not" go to the doctor or "I am busy" working against the sick man himself. Anyone who has treated prostatitis will agree with this!
