Although the cause of the onset of the inflammatory process is different, the success of complete recovery is ensured by comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. The disease of men is increasingly "rejuvenating" significantly. After all, medical statistics confirm that over the past several decades, more than half of men between the ages of twenty and forty have had prostatitis.
Therapy
Prostatitis progresses in different ways: in acute and chronic forms, it can be infectious and non-infectious.
Urologists distinguish these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we will reveal the features of systemic treatment of prostate gland and its effectiveness.
Types and features of complex therapy
At the current stage, the main complex treatments for prostatitis are proposed:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- The use of immunostimulating therapy.
- Physiotherapy procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the features of each method?
Medicine. It is based on the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
For bacterial prostatitis, antibiotics are recommended. When choosing an antibacterial drug, the susceptibility of pathogenic microorganisms to a particular antibiotic is taken into account.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a class of macrolide drugs. These are new generation drugs that are able to penetrate the tissues of the prostate gland. Their advantage is that they are non-toxic and do not kill the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics are used for ten days. Antibacterial drugs are recommended for acute and chronic prostatitis.
Anti-inflammatory therapy includes the use of drugs that inhibit the development of the inflammatory process.
The most effective means of this type are suppositories, which provide a local anesthetic result.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Suppositories based on propolis - have many effects.
- Drugs that stimulate the immune system.
Echinacea extract also serves as an adjunct in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All of these are only effective with prolonged use.
Benefits of physiotherapy and massage
In the complex treatment of the prostate gland, physiotherapeutic procedures are also very important. What is their advantage?
- Improves the movement of lymph through the lymphatic vessels. As a result, cellular particles that accumulate in tissues are rapidly absorbed upon replenishment of blood and lymph.
- Blood circulation increases, which contributes to the rapid penetration of the drug into the prostate gland.
- Metabolism in the prostate is restored.
The most effective physiotherapeutic procedures are used:
- the use of low-voltage direct current for medical purposes - galvanizing;
- the use of current pulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- exposure to high-frequency electromagnetic fields - UHF therapy;
- magnetotherapy - the use of a constant or alternating magnetic field.
Physical therapy is recommended for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. As a rule, such methods have no side effects and contraindications.
Urologists believe that properly massaging the prostate gland significantly improves the general condition:
- Has a beneficial effect on the muscle activity of the gland.
- Restores the movement of blood through the vessels.
- Promotes rapid penetration of the drug into the tissue of the gland.
Many types of massage are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases it is undesirable:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- Massaging increases the risk of infection for acute bacterial prostatitis.
You should be careful with massage: only a qualified therapist who understands the cause of the inflammatory process should conduct massage.
Systemic treatment of the prostate gland allows you to get rid of painful symptoms of the bladder and urethra, prevent serious complications of the genitourinary system, and restore sexual activity.
In addition, all of these therapies reduce the risk of new exacerbations and restore prostate function. For each man, this is a guarantee of good working ability, healthy body.
Maximum positive results can be obtained only with complex treatment of this disease.
