Although the causes of the inflammatory process vary, the success of complete healing is guaranteed by comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. The disease in men is significantly "younger. "After all, medical statistics claim that in recent decades, more than half of men between the ages of twenty and forty suffer from prostatitis.
Therapies
Prostatitis occurs in different ways: it can be infectious and non-infectious in acute and chronic forms.
Urologists distinguish between these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we explore the characteristics and efficacy of systemic treatment of the prostate.
Types and characteristics of complex therapy
At this stage, the main methods of complex therapy for prostatitis are proposed:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- Use of immunostimulatory therapy.
- Physiotherapy procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the characteristics of each method?
Medicine. It is based on the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Antibiotics are recommended for bacterial prostatitis. The choice of antibacterial drug takes into account the susceptibility of pathogenic microorganisms to a particular antibiotic.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a group of macrolides. These are a new generation of drugs that can penetrate the tissues of the prostate. Their advantage is that they have no toxic effects, they do not destroy the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics are used for ten days. Antibacterial drugs are recommended for acute and chronic prostatitis.
Anti-inflammatory treatment involves the use of drugs that inhibit the development of the inflammatory process.
The most effective devices of this type are suppositories, which provide local anesthesia.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Propolis-based suppositories have a wide range of effects.
- Drugs that stimulate the immune system.
Echinacea extract also serves as a supplement in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All of these types are only effective for prolonged use.
Benefits of physiotherapy and massage
Physiotherapy procedures are also important in the complex therapy of the prostate. What are their benefits?
- Improves lymph movement through the lymphatics. As a result, cell particles accumulated in the tissues are rapidly absorbed by the addition of blood and lymph.
- Blood circulation is increased, which contributes to the rapid penetration of drugs into the prostate.
- Metabolic processes are restored in the prostate gland.
The most effective physiotherapy procedures are used:
- use of low voltage direct current for medical purposes - electroplating;
- use of current pulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- exposure to high frequency electromagnetic fields - UHF therapy;
- magnetotherapy - application of a permanent or alternating magnetic field.
Physiotherapy is recommended for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Generally, such methods have no side effects or contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that proper massage of the prostate significantly improves the general condition:
- It has a beneficial effect on the muscle function of the gland.
- It restores the movement of blood through the blood vessels.
- It promotes the rapid penetration of drugs into the tissue of the gland.
Different types of massages are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases it is not desirable:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- Massage increases the risk of infection with acute bacterial prostatitis.
You need to be careful with the massage: it should only be performed by a qualified professional who understands the causes of the inflammatory process.
Systemic treatment of the prostate allows you to get rid of painful symptoms in the bladder and urethra, prevent severe complications of the urogenital system, and restore sexual activity.
In addition, all of these therapies reduce the chance of further exacerbations and restore prostate function. For all men, this is a guarantee of good work ability and a healthy feeling.
The maximum positive result can only be achieved with a complex treatment of the disease.
