Although the causes for the onset of the inflammatory process are different, the success of a complete recovery is guaranteed by a comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. Men's disease has become significantly "younger". After all, medical statistics say that, over the past few decades, more than half of men in their 20s to 40s suffer from prostate inflammation.
Therapies
Inflammation of the prostate occurs in different ways: acutely and chronically, it can be infectious and non-infectious.
Urologists distinguish these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we will reveal the characteristics of systemic prostate treatment and its effectiveness.
Types and characteristics 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 immunostimulant 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.
For bacterial prostatitis, antibiotics are recommended. When choosing an antibacterial drug, the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to a specific antibiotic is taken into account.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a group of macrolides. They are new generation drugs that have the ability to penetrate prostate tissue. The advantage is that they do not have a toxic effect, they do not kill the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics are used for ten days. Antibacterial drugs are recommended for both acute and chronic prostatitis.
Anti-inflammatory treatment 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.
- Propolis-based suppositories - have a broad spectrum of action.
- Drugs that boost the immune system.
Echinacea extract also acts as an adjunct in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All of these types are only effective with prolonged use.
The Benefits of Physical Therapy and Massage
In complex prostate therapy, physical therapy procedures are also important. What is their advantage?
- Improves lymph movement through lymph vessels. As a result, cell particles accumulated in tissues are rapidly absorbed with the addition of blood and lymph.
- Blood circulation increases, which contributes to the rapid penetration of drugs into the prostate.
- The metabolic processes of the prostate are restored.
The most effective physical therapy 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 field - 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, these methods do not have side effects and contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that correct prostate massage significantly improves overall health:
- It has a beneficial effect on the muscle activity of the gland.
- Restores blood movement through vessels.
- Promotes rapid penetration of drugs into gland tissue.
Several types of massage are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases it is undesirable:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- massage increases the threat of infection from acute bacterial prostatitis.
Care must be taken with massage: only a qualified specialist who knows the causes of the onset of the inflammatory process should perform it.
Systemic treatment of the prostate allows you to get rid of painful bladder and urethra symptoms, prevents serious complications of the genitourinary system, and restores sexual activity.
Furthermore, all of these therapies reduce the chances of further exacerbations and restore prostate function. For every man, this is a guarantee of good work capacity, healthy well-being.
The maximum positive result can only be obtained with complex treatment of the disease.
