In the initial stage, chronic prostatitis causes relapses due to pain during urination, discharge, and episodic sexual dysfunction. These symptoms are stopped with a broad-spectrum course of antibiotics, and the pain can temporarily disappear with simple painkillers.
Periods of transient improvement following the acute onset of prostatitis may result from mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later you have to think about how you can secure yourself a full life, and once you’re healed, forget about prostatitis forever.
See a doctor as soon as possible
Unpleasant physical symptoms that indicate a painful condition of the prostate are often accompanied by depression and fears that cause men to indefinitely postpone a visit to the doctor. Many people only recognize the problem at a stage when the disease is severely neglected: pain becomes unbearable, urination becomes torture or uncontrollable, sexuality and impotence have long been a common fact. At this stage, prostatitis heals in very rare cases.
This perspective leads us to think about the prevention and timely treatment of prostatitis even in the first, even weak and rapid-onset symptoms. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis, and groin pain are the first calls you need to respond to. At this time, there are still many ways to prevent prostatitis. There are also cases and techniques that stop tissue overgrowth and even reduce the size of the prostate adenoma. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured with both radical surgery and medication and physiotherapy.
Physicians evaluate the results of non-surgical treatment of chronic prostatitis and adenoma differently. Some consider the lack of inflammation and the normal size of the prostate - the complete victory of the disease, others argue that this is just a successful stage in the fight against the relapse of chronic prostatitis that will not go away.
Patients are much less interested in theoretical calculations than in the question of whether pain, sexual dysfunction, and free urine in the perineum can be easily avoided at any age. After all, the point is quality of life, and whether a person has recovered from prostatitis or just overcome its worsening is a secondary question.
In case of chronic prostatitis, especially when the disease gets worse, you can trust your doctor completely or try treatment of prostatitis at home.
But with any approach, it must be diagnosed in a medical institution to determine the causes and stages of the disease. Repeated studies will show how much this or that treatment has helped, regardless of whether there are complications that can be cleared by temporary drug exposure.
Pain in the perineum, frequent trips to the toilet is just a symptom, the release of which can only stifle the chronic process, which leads to sexual disorders and urinary disorders. In addition to age factors, hypothermia, physical overload and stress, as well as severe infections and viruses can cause prostatitis.
Self-medication for prostate problems
In order to achieve the desired effect from the decoction of parsley, honey mixes or garlic infusions, several months of regular use are required, carefully adhering to the manufacturing technology of these traditional medicine products and the quality requirements for the ingredients.
Diet should be changed or modified with any treatment and regardless of the cause of the disease. You should exclude synthesized foods (chips, soft drinks, a variety of sweets and cookies) and animal fats, minimize fried and marinated foods, and the use of alcohol, sugar, salt, and hot spices: pepper, mustard, horseradish. A diet based on natural products that predominate in fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy products, fish and seafood may not be a temporary restriction, but a new eating behavior that contributes to the renewal and healing of the whole body.
There are many cases in medicine where people are cured of serious chronic diseases only by giving up bad habits and consistently hardening the body.
