All about the tools and methods of treating prostatitis

Prostatitis is a common and dangerous disease that occurs with an inflammatory process in the prostate gland. Most often, the disease develops as a result of impaired blood circulation or infection. According to medical statistics, prostatitis in recent years has been diagnosed more and more among men of working age. The disease is accompanied by painful sensations during deuritization and ejaculation. Manifestations of the disease negatively affect the quality of life of a man. Prostatitis is dangerous for its consequences. In the absence of timely treatment, the disease takes a chronic course, which is difficult to treat. Prostatitis needs complex treatment. Consider effective treatments for prostatitis.

Basic therapeutic methods

If unpleasant symptoms of the disease appear, a man should, without delay, consult a doctor for timely diagnosis of the disease. Based on the results of the examination, the doctor prescribes treatment.

In this case, the doctor takes into account the following factors:

• degree and form of the disease;
• the presence of complications;
• duration of disease course;
• individual characteristics.

It should be remembered that only complex treatment will help to overcome prostatitis. Therefore, it is important to strictly adhere to all doctor's prescriptions and recommendations.

The goal of prostate therapy is to relieve inflammation in the prostate gland.
All therapeutic methods used to combat the disease are divided into conservative and operative.

Conservative methods include:

• drug therapy;
• taking vitamin complexes and remedies to normalize the immune system;
• physiotherapy;
• physiotherapy exercises;
• massage;
• Spa treatment;
• hirudotherapy;
• mud therapy;
• traditional methods of treatment.

Surgical methods are prescribed in advanced situations when scar tissue has formed in the gland and is unable to perform its daily functions. During surgery, as a rule, the affected tissues are removed.

Drug therapy

The method of treating prostatitis consists of taking antibiotics, alpha-blockers, pain relievers and other medications. Consider further effective modern means of treating prostatitis.

Antibiotic therapy

Prostatitis is often bacterial in nature. Therefore, the doctor prescribes antibacterial drugs for treatment. This group of drugs provides effective treatment for acute and chronic prostatitis. The pharmaceutical industry offers a wide range of antibacterial drugs to help fight disease.

As a rule, the doctor prescribes the following groups of antibiotics for treatment:

1. Fluoroquinolones.
2. Aminoglycosides.
3. Tetracyclines.
4. Cephalosporins.
5. Penicillin.
6. Macrolides.

For the treatment of acute prostatitis, intravenous antibiotics (generation III cephalosporins or fluoroquinolones) are usually prescribed. When the fever subsides, further treatment is continued with oral antibacterial agents. The average duration of admission is 6 weeks.

For chronic prostatitis, fluoroquinolones are commonly used. These drugs easily penetrate the prostate and are effective against most gram-negative bacteria, chlamydia, ureaplasma. Tetracyclines are effective for suspected chlamydial infection.

For the treatment of chronic abscess and prostatitis, provoked by Proteus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, sulfa drugs are prescribed.

Macrolide tablets and injections are prescribed to cure viruses that have penetrated deep inside. If prostatitis arose as a result of the penetration of certain pathogens, or the tests did not help determine the type of pathogen, aminoglycoside group drugs are prescribed. However, due to the large list of side effects, these drugs are not often prescribed.

With prolonged use of antibiotics, you need to support the body with ascorbic and folic acid as well as B vitamins.

Importers It is important to remember that the entire course of antibiotic therapy should be completed to get effective results and prevent relapses.

Before prescribing an antibiotic, the doctor determines the main cause of the development of the disease. Antibacterial drugs are effective only against bacterial prostatitis. If the disease is due to impaired blood circulation, then antibiotic therapy may harm the patient.

Alpha blockers

These drugs are prescribed to relieve tension from the muscles of the bladder and urinary tract in chronic prostatitis.

Treatment with these agents leads to reduced swelling and pain relief.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

These drugs are effectively prescribed for the treatment of the acute form of the disease. They relieve pain and inflammation, provoke a reduction in swelling, and improve the discharge of secretions.

Medications are prescribed in the form of tablets, powders, or rectal suppositories.

Angioprotectors

Medications improve the function of prostate capillaries, blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the affected organs, eliminating stagnant processes.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors

One of the effective representatives of this group of drugs is a drug that reduces prostate volume, relieves tissue swelling, reduces pain and restores urine flow.

Immunomodulatory drugs

To normalize immunity, the doctor, as a rule, prescribes immunomodulatory drugs.

Medications for the treatment of secondary immunodeficiency may also be prescribed.

Hormone therapy

In some situations, the inflammatory process is accompanied by erectile dysfunction. To restore the functioning of the organs of the endocrine system, as well as to restore an erection, the doctor prescribes hormone therapy.

Use of suppositories

Rectal suppositories are effective in treating acute and chronic prostatitis.

List of common remedies:

1. Candles Iktiol. They have a disinfectant effect, normalize blood circulation, relieve pain.
2. Suppositories with prostate extract. They relieve inflammation and edema, relieve congestion and prevent the formation of blood clots.
3. Candles with belladonna. Relieve pain and inflammation.
4. Suppositories for cell tissue regeneration. The use of such suppositories quickly restores the work of the prostate gland.

Physiotherapy procedures

Physiotherapeutic methods of treatment have also proven themselves well. Physiotherapy consists of various techniques that have recently been used successfully to combat the disease. The doctor chooses the type of procedure individually. The course of treatment has a positive effect not only on the prostate gland, but also on the whole body.

Physiotherapy procedures for prostatitis can achieve the following results:

• improve microcirculation in prostate tissue;
• increases the accumulation of medicinal substances in the gland;
• reduce painful sensations;
• improve the quality of urination;
• remove the inflammatory process;
• increase the potential.

There are several methods of physiotherapy:

1. Electrophoresis. The affected area is exposed to direct current with medication.
2. Ultrasound. It is considered one of the most effective therapeutic methods. The gland is affected by ultrasonic waves. The procedure is completely painless.
3. Magnetotherapy.
4. Inductive magnetic laser therapy. The prostate is complexly treated with magnets and lasers. The procedure improves blood circulation, accelerates the healing process of the affected tissues and relieves pain.
5. Laser therapy.
6. Microwave therapy with microwave.
7. Ozone therapy.
8. Vacuum therapy.
9. Cryodestruction. Affected tissues are removed using liquid nitrogen.

And also used to treat prostatitis:

• balloon dilation. The urinary tract is mechanically expanded using a catheter having an inflatable balloon at the end;
• stentimi. The procedure also continues with urethral enlargement. However, in this situation, a stent is inserted. The latter is presented in the form of a cylindrical frame and made of polymeric material.

Physiotherapy methods are usually prescribed in conjunction with drug therapy to improve treatment outcomes. Such procedures are well tolerated and have no side effects. Side effects can occur with individual intolerance.

Magnetotherapy

A magnetic field is applied to the prostate through the skin. At the same time, the nutrition of prostate cells is improved, its protective properties are activated and the removal of toxins from the glandular tissue is accelerated. Magnetotherapy activates blood circulation and improves drug absorption.

Microwave therapy with microwave

The affected prostate is directly exposed to microwave electric waves. As a result, the temperature rises in the hot zone, the blood vessels dilate and the blood flow accelerates.

In addition, as a result of an increase in temperature, there is a decrease in smooth muscle spasms. As a result, the man has improved the drainage of prostate secretions and pain relief.

Laser therapy

During the procedure, prostate tissue is irradiated with a low-intensity laser beam. This method dilutes the blood, accelerates the flow of secretions and prevents the formation of microthrombi.

And also laser treatment enhances the body's protective functions and promotes tissue regeneration. Laser therapy is described as a treatment for chronic prostatitis.

Vacuum therapy

A special medical device is installed in the penis, under the influence of which blood flows to the penis and an erection occurs. It is recommended to combine vacuum therapy with laser therapy. During an erection, a laser beam is directed at the penis. The latter helps to increase blood flow.

Ozone therapy

For treatment, a special ozone-enriched fluid is injected through the urethra. Typically, salt is used for the procedure. Ozone therapy restores normal prostate function, has a bactericidal effect, promotes the restoration of damaged cells and is considered one of the modern methods of treating prostatitis.

For the procedure to be effective, it must be performed daily. The duration of the therapeutic course depends on the stage of development of the disease and is 6-10 manipulations.

Home treatment

Physiotherapy procedures are usually performed in an inpatient setting. However, there are devices that allow you to perform treatment at home. One such device is a device, among the advantages of which should be emphasized durability and ease of use. With the help of the apparatus, the glandular tissue is exposed to a magnetic field, heat and massage are performed.

The procedure takes approximately 10-12 minutes and is completely painless. For treatment, the tip of the device, previously coated with a condom, is inserted into the rectum. After the procedure, the yeast is wiped with alcohol. The duration of therapy is 15 sessions.

Use of the device is contraindicated in the following situations:

• in the acute stage of the disease;
• with intestinal bleeding;
• in the presence of prostate stones;
• in the presence of cracks in the rectum and worsening of hemorrhoids;
• men with genitourinary tuberculosis;
• with malignant neoplasms;
• with diarrhea;
• in a thirsty state.

Before starting physical therapy, a man should be tested to determine the level of PSA in the blood and undergo a transrectal ultrasound of the prostate. Such a diagnosis will allow to rule out oncology. If necessary, your doctor may order an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging).

Physiotherapy methods are not prescribed for the treatment of calculous prostatitis, in the presence of calcifications.

Massage

The procedure eliminates stagnant processes in the prostate, helps eliminate toxins formed as a result of inflammatory processes.

Contraindications to massage:

• acute phase of the disease;
• adenoma;
• malignant neoplasms;
• prostatolithiasis - the presence of calculi in the prostate;
• tuberculosis.

The massage is performed by a doctor. The patient adopts the elbow position at the knee to maximize pelvic floor muscle relaxation. The doctor inserts a finger through the anus and massages the prostate. The course usually consists of 10 massages.

This procedure promotes secretion from the glands, activates blood circulation, increases resistance to infection and accelerates the recovery of damaged tissue.

Recently, prostate massage has rarely been prescribed, as medications are advancing and new, more effective methods of treatment have been developed.

Physiotherapy

Often, prostatitis is formed due to improper blood supply to the gland muscles.

To normalize blood microcirculation, deep gatherings are considered effective. You need to collect with the legs raised. You should perform this exercise at least 100 times, 3 sets per week.

The following exercises are also effective:

1. Scissors while you are sitting. Perform the exercise 20 times with each leg.
2. Raise your legs straight while lying on your stomach. Repeat 20 times.
3. Lie on your back and place your knees bent at the knees so that your knees are facing you. Wrap your arms around your legs and stay there for up to 20 minutes.
4. In the morning, massage the perineum for about 5 minutes.

The above exercises, along with the sessions, will help you cure the disease for free.

Sanitary treatment

Patients are referred to the sanatorium when prolonged remission occurs. There are sanatoriums all over the world that treat prostatitis, improve erectile dysfunction and improve health.

As a rule, the following procedures are prescribed for treatment:

• drinking mineral water;
• physiotherapy exercises;
• various physiotherapy methods;
• hirudotherapy;
• mud therapy;
• balneotherapy.

Fresh air, calm atmosphere and warm climate have a positive effect on the condition of the prostate gland.

Surgery

Main indications for surgical intervention:

• prostate sclerosis;
• bladder neck sclerosis;
• gland calculi;
• seminal tubercle sclerosis.

The main surgical methods used to combat prostatitis are shown in the table.
