In the initial stage, chronic prostatitis causes relapses through painful urination, discharge, episodic sexual dysfunction. All of these symptoms are alleviated by treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the pain may temporarily disappear with simple pain relievers.
Periods of temporary improvement after acute episodes of inflammation of the prostate may result from the mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later, you will have to think about how to guarantee a full life and, after healing, forget about prostatitis forever.
See a doctor as soon as possible
Unpleasant physical symptoms, indicative of a painful condition of the prostate, are often accompanied by depression and fears, which cause men to postpone doctor visits indefinitely. Many admit the problem only at the stage when the disease is seriously beginning: the pain becomes unbearable, urination becomes torture or cannot be controlled, sexuality and impotence are an old fact. At this stage, prostatitis is cured in very rare cases.
This perspective makes us think about prevention and adequate treatment of prostatitis in the beginning, even the weak signs that pass quickly. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis and pain in the groin are the first calls you need to respond to. It is at this time that there is still a wide range of methods of preventing prostatitis treatment. There are also cases and techniques that prevent excessive tissue growth and even reduce the size of the prostate adenoma. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured both by radical surgery and medication and physical therapy.
Doctors differ in evaluating the results of non-surgical treatment of chronic prostatitis and adenoma. Some consider the absence of inflammation and the normal size of the prostate - a complete victory over the disease, others argue that this is just a successful step in combating recurrences of chronic prostatitis, which do not disappear anywhere.
Theoretical calculations are of much less interest to patients than the question of whether it is possible to avoid pain in the perineum, sexual dysfunction and free urine without problems at any age. After all, the main thing is the quality of life, and whether the person has recovered from prostatitis or has just overcome his exacerbation is a secondary issue.
In the case of chronic prostatitis and especially during exacerbations of the disease, you can either rely entirely on your doctor or try prostatitis treatment at home.
But, for any approach, you need to be diagnosed at a medical institution to establish the causes and stages of the disease. Repeated studies will show how much this or that treatment helped, if there were complications, whose symptoms can be erased by temporary exposure to drugs.
Pain in the perineum, frequent trips to the bathroom are just symptoms, and getting rid of them can only drown out the chronic process that leads to sexual dysfunction, urinary disorder. In addition to age-related factors, hypothermia, physical overload and stress, as well as serious infections and viruses can be the cause of prostatitis.
Self-medication for prostate problems
To obtain the desired effect from decoctions of parsley, mixtures of honey or infusions of garlic, months of regular use are required, with careful observance of the technology of manufacture of these traditional medicine products and quality requirements of the ingredients.
With any treatment method and regardless of the causes of the disease, it will be necessary to change or adjust the diet. You will have to exclude synthesized foods (chips, soft drinks, various types of sweets and cookies) and animal fats, minimize fried and pickled foods, as well as the use of alcohol, sugar, salt and spicy spices: pepper, mustard, horseradish. A diet based on natural products with a predominance of fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy products, fish and seafood should not be a temporary restriction, but a new eating behavior that will contribute to the renewal and healing of the entire body.
In medicine, there are many cases where people are cured of serious chronic illnesses only by abandoning bad habits and consistent hardening of the body.
