Prostatitis is an inflammatory process affecting the prostate gland. The reason for its appearance is not fully understood, but there is an opinion that it develops in violation of hemodynamics in the small pelvis. According to various statistics, this disease occurs in men aged 30 to 50 years.
The signs of prostatitis in men can be very different, but most often they are:
- Pain sensations in the small pelvis vary in intensity, because the prostate gland is sufficiently innervated. In addition, the pain can radiate to the genitals, lower back or bladder.
- Urination disorders in the form of pain, pain, urinary retention, imperative urges. The color of urine, its amount and transparency can also change.
- Violations of the general condition, such as decreased performance, fever, dyspeptic disorders.
- Violations of sexual activity. They can manifest as decreased desire, erectile dysfunction and ejaculation, pain during ejaculation.
Complex treatment of prostatitis in men
In order for the treatment of prostatitis to be effective, it must be carried out for a long time and in a complex manner, using different means. Comprehensive treatment includes:
- drug therapy
- Prostatitis therapy in men with folk remedies
- Physiotherapy
- A set of physical exercises
- Proper daily routine and nutrition
The volume and duration of prostatitis treatment will depend on the form of the disease, its severity and course. For example, the treatment of acute prostatitis should mainly aim at alleviating the general condition of the patient. That is, first of all, it is necessary to anesthetize and stabilize the patient. This form of prostatitis requires hospitalization and urgent patient care. And the treatment of chronic prostatitis is more aimed at prolonging the remission (a period of significant weakening of the symptoms of the disease). Patients with this form of the disease can receive treatment for prostatitis at home, and only during the period of deterioration be treated in medical institutions. With an aggravation of the disease, the patient must necessarily undergo a course of prostatitis treatment with a massage, which greatly relieves his condition and improves the functioning of the gland.
What therapy to choose - traditional or popular?
Now many people ask:What is better to choose - phytotherapy or therapy using medications?There are no clear answers to this question, because both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
- Conventional therapy has advantages in that it is used in a targeted manner. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroying it and thereby stopping the inflammatory process. Home treatment of prostatitis with the help of such means is very convenient if the process does not have a severe course and does not require constant medical supervision. But such therapy has its drawbacks, because many drugs have pronounced side effects, as well as a toxic effect on the body.
- Folk remedies in the treatment of prostatitis can also be widely used. Because many herbal medicines have pronounced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and analgesic effects. Also, they are often well tolerated by patients, without causing allergic reactions and other side effects. They can be used much longer than drug therapy and still have no toxic effects. However, their disadvantage is that they are auxiliary. Running prostatitis in men cannot be cured by folk remedies, because they do not act on a specific pathogen.
Important!As practice shows, the most effective treatment regimen is often one that includes drug therapy and alternative therapy. All the elements in this scheme complement each other and lead to a more effective treatment of prostatitis.
