Although the causes of the onset of the inflammatory process are different, the success of a full recovery is guaranteed through comprehensive treatment for prostatitis. The male disease has become significantly "younger". Because medical statistics show that in the last few decades more than half of men between the ages of 20 and 40 suffered from inflammation of the prostate.
Therapies
Inflammation of the prostate proceeds in different ways: in acute and chronic forms, it can be infectious and non-infectious.
Urologists differentiate these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we will reveal the features of systemic treatment of the prostate and its effectiveness.
Types and features of complex therapy
At the current stage, the main methods of complex therapy for prostatitis are proposed:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- The use of immune stimulating therapy.
- Physiotherapeutic procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the characteristics of each method?
Medication. It is based on the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Antibiotics are recommended for bacterial prostatitis. When choosing an antibacterial drug, the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to a particular antibiotic is taken into account.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a group of macrolides. These are new generation drugs that are able to penetrate the tissues of the prostate. Their advantage is that they have no toxic effect and do not kill the intestinal flora. 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 means of this type are suppositories, which give a local anesthetic result.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Suppositories based on propolis - have a wide range of effects.
- Drugs that stimulate the immune system.
Echinacea extract is also used as a supplement in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All of these types are only effective with prolonged use.
The benefits of physiotherapy and massage
In the complex therapy of the prostate, physiotherapeutic procedures are also important. What is your advantage?
- Improves the movement of lymph through the lymphatic vessels. As a result, cell particles accumulated in the tissues are quickly absorbed with the addition of blood and lymph.
- Blood circulation is increased, this contributes to the rapid penetration of drugs into the prostate.
- The metabolic processes in the prostate are restored.
The most effective physiotherapy procedures are used:
- the use of low-voltage direct current for medical purposes - electroplating;
- the use of current pulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- Exposure to a radio frequency electromagnetic field - UHF therapy;
- magnetotherapy - the use of a constant or alternating magnetic field.
Physiotherapy is recommended for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. As a rule, such methods do not have side effects and contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that the correct massage of the prostate significantly improves the general condition:
- Has a positive effect on the muscle activity of the gland.
- Restores the movement of blood through the vessels.
- Promotes the rapid penetration of drugs into the tissues of the gland.
Various types of massage are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases they are undesirable:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- Massage increases the risk of infection in acute bacterial prostatitis.
You should be careful with the massage: only a qualified specialist who understands the causes of the onset of the inflammatory process should perform it.
Systemic treatment of the prostate 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 likelihood of new exacerbations and restore the function of the prostate. For every man, this is a guarantee of good work ability and healthy well-being.
The maximum positive result can only be achieved through complex treatment of the disease.
