Although the reasons for the onset of the inflammatory process are different, the success of complete recovery is ensured by a comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. Men's disease has significantly "rejuvenated". After all, medical statistics claim that in recent decades, more than half of men between the ages of twenty and forty suffer from prostatitis.
Therapies
Inflammation of the prostate continues in different ways: in acute and chronic forms, it can be infectious and non-infectious.
Urologists distinguish these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we will describe the features of systemic treatment of the prostate gland and its effectiveness.
Types and features of complex therapy
At the present stage, the main methods of complex therapy for prostatitis are offered:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- Use of immunostimulatory therapy.
- Physiotherapy procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the features of each method?
Medication. 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.
Urologists have recently identified a group of macrolides. These are a new generation of drugs that have the ability to penetrate the tissues of the prostate. Their advantage is that they are not toxic and do not kill the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics are used for ten days. Antibacterial drugs are recommended for acute and chronic prostatitis.
Anti-inflammatory treatment involves the use of drugs that prevent the development of inflammatory processes.
The most effective of these are suppositories, which give a local anesthetic effect.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Propolis-based candles - have a wide range of activities.
- Drugs that stimulate the immune system.
Echinacea extract also serves as an adjunct in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All these types are effective only with long-term use.
Benefits of physiotherapy and massage
Physiotherapeutic procedures are also important in the complex therapy of the prostate gland. What is their advantage?
- Improves lymph flow through lymphatic vesselsAs a result, the cell particles that accumulate in the tissues are rapidly absorbed by adding blood and lymph.
- Increases blood circulation, which helps drugs to penetrate the prostate faster.
- Metabolic processes are restored in the prostate gland.
The most effective physiotherapy procedures are used:
- use of low voltage direct current for medicinal purposes - galvanizing;
- use of current pulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- exposure to high-frequency electromagnetic fields - UHF therapy;
- magnetotherapy - the use of a fixed or alternative magnetic field.
Physiotherapy is recommended for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. As a rule, such methods have no side effects and contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that proper prostate massage significantly improves the overall condition:
- Has a beneficial effect on the muscle activity of the gland.
- Restores blood flow through blood vessels
- Promotes rapid penetration of drugs into glandular tissue
Different types of massage are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases it is undesirable:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- Massage increases the risk of infection for acute bacterial prostatitis.
You should be careful with massage: it should be done only by a qualified specialist who understands the causes of the onset of the inflammatory process.
Systemic treatment of the prostate allows to get rid of painful symptoms of the bladder and urethra, prevents severe complications of the urogenital system, restores sexual activity.
In addition, all these treatments reduce the likelihood of new inflammation and restore the function of the prostate gland. For every man, this is a guarantee of good work ability and healthy well-being.
The maximum positive result can be obtained only from the complex treatment of the disease.
