Although the causes of the inflammatory process are different, the success of complete recovery is guaranteed by a comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. The disease has significantly "rejuvenated" men. After all, medical statistics claim that in the last decades, more than half of men between the ages of twenty and forty have suffered from prostate inflammation.
Therapies
Inflammation of the prostate takes place in different ways: in acute and chronic form, it can be infectious and non-infectious.
Urologists distinguish these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we will discover the characteristics of systemic prostate treatment and its effectiveness.
Types and characteristics of complex therapy
At the present stage, the main methods of complex therapy for prostatitis are proposed:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- Application of immunostimulating therapy.
- Physiotherapy procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the characteristics of each method?
Medications. It is based on the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Antibiotics are recommended for bacterial prostatitis. The sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to a particular antibiotic is taken into account when choosing an antibacterial drug.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a group of macrolides. These are next-generation drugs that have the ability to penetrate prostate tissue. Their 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 acute and chronic prostatitis.
Anti-inflammatory treatment involves the use of drugs that inhibit the development of the inflammatory process.
The most effective means of this type are suppositories, which give a local anesthetic result.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Propolis-based suppositories - have a wide range of action.
- 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 prolonged use.
Benefits of physiotherapy and massage
Physiotherapeutic procedures are also important in complex prostate therapy. What is their advantage?
- Improves lymph movement through lymph vessels. As a result, cell particles accumulated in the 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.
- Metabolic processes in the prostate are restored.
The most effective physiotherapy procedures are used:
- use of low voltage direct current for medical purposes - galvanization;
- use of current impulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- exposure to high frequency electromagnetic field - UHF therapy;
- magnetotherapy - the use of a constant or alternating magnetic field.
Physiotherapy is recommended for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Such methods generally have no side effects and contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that proper prostate massage significantly improves the general condition:
- It 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 with acute bacterial prostatitis.
Care should be taken with massage: only a qualified specialist who understands the causes of the inflammatory process should conduct it.
Systemic treatment of the prostate allows you to get rid of painful symptoms of the bladder and urethra, prevent severe complications of the genitourinary system and restore sexual activity.
In addition, all of these therapies reduce the chances of new exacerbations and restore prostate function. For every man, this is a guarantee of good working ability, healthy well-being.
The maximum positive result can be obtained only by complex treatment of the disease.
