An inflammation of the prostate is called prostatitis in medicine. The cause is usually a violation of blood microcirculation in the pelvic region. The development of such an infectious disease in the prostate tissues is not excluded. The disease not only worsens man's quality of life, but also leads to serious complications in the reproductive system. Chronification of the pathology is also an unpleasant consequence. Treating prostatitis at home with natural remedies is a treatment option for men.
What is prostatitis
Disease is inflammation of the prostate as a result of negative external or internal factors. The bacterial form of prostatitis is more common. It is caused by pathogenic bacteria, which from the rectum, bladder and urethra enter the prostate. The disease by the nature of the course is acute and chronic. The latter form has less pronounced symptoms.
A sedentary lifestyle that causes congestion in the pelvic area is also considered a possible cause of prostatitis.
Regardless of the disease etiology, it is characterized by the following symptoms:
- fatigue, depression, lethargy;
- increased need to urinate at night;
- accelerated ejaculation;
- discomfort and pain in the scrotum, groin, abdomen and lower back;
- burning sensation in the perineum;
- the appearance in the urine of floating clots - "threads", and sometimes - blood or pus;
- sensation of incomplete emptying of the bladder.
Treatment of prostatitis
If you find signs of prostate disease, you should contact a urologist. Self-medication, in this case, is unacceptable. Adequate therapy will only be done after the diagnosis made by the doctor.
The treatment of various forms of prostatitis has its own schemes and methods:
- Bacterial. To combat this form, antibiotics from the group of penicillins, macrolides and fluoroquinolones are used. To relieve inflammation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used. Alpha-blockers help to reduce bladder tone and sedatives to improve psychological status.
- Stagnant. Treatable with pumpkin seeds, parsley and black elderberry.
- Chronic. It is important to avoid exacerbation factors, such as hypothermia, constipation, premature emptying of the bladder. The drugs are used in the same way as in the acute form: antibiotics, NSAIDs, antidepressants.
