For a male health professional, the treatment regimen for prostatitis is always extremely simple. General rules are formed based on the nature of the disease. Medications can only differ if there is an individual difference between patients.
Of course, the type of pathogen pathology can also affect the therapeutic program for the treatment of prostate inflammation. Prostatitis develops into a chronic form not only from acute infectious inflammation. It is often caused by a viral form of the disease. Various nonspecific prostatitis is treated somewhat differently than bacterial ones.
Before choosing a treatment regimen, it is necessary to accurately and correctly diagnose the patient. This is possible only with the appropriate expertise of the attending physician.
Infectious prostatitis
Various viruses can cause painful changes in the functioning and structure of the prostate. They are usually sexually transmitted and are therefore treated under the supervision of a dermatovenerologist.
The doctor, after prescribing laboratory tests, selects the antiviral drugs needed for a particular case. They are often combined with antispasmodics. If chronic prostatitis is in the acute phase, it may be necessary to take analgesics.
Outside the exacerbation, direct prostate massage is indicated. Such therapy helps to quickly remove fluid with pathogenic flora from the organ affected by the virus. Massage also reduces inflammation and stimulates adequate prostate activity.
Bacterial prostatitis
The treatment regimen for prostatitis, which is bacterial in nature, should be based primarily on antibiotic therapy. In this case, antibiotics are the first line of treatment. It is the competent use of bacteriostatic and bactericidal drugs that contributes to the complete remission of the symptoms of prostatitis.
Physical therapy is also an integral part of the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Hardware impact procedures help to very gently and delicately affect the affected organ, restoring the health of the body.
In this case, not only targeted but also general influence is important. After all, an effective treatment regimen for prostatitis always involves an integrated approach to the patient’s health.
Candidal prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate caused by a fungal infection is treated in the same way as other bacterial forms. However, in this case, more than ever, it is important to treat not only the man, but also his sexual partner.
After all, the fungus Candida is transmitted during sexual intercourse from a woman to a man. And an infected man to a healthy partner. Contact with an untreated partner will cancel the antibiotic therapy. Which may require the appointment of more aggressive drugs.
In the case of candidal prostatitis, the chronic form of this disease can even lead to the appointment of surgery. Indeed, by multiplying, candida leads to structural pathological changes in prostate tissues. The consequences are often irreversible. An advanced form of the disease may require even radical intervention by a surgeon and complete removal of the fungus-affected organ.
Calculous prostatitis
Prostate congestion can also lead to serious consequences and the need for intracavitary intervention. With timely medical help, laser or sound therapy can be omitted. It is important to turn limescale deposits into sand in time, which can be excreted naturally.
It is unacceptable to use prostate massage during the exacerbation of the chronic form of congestive prostatitis. It can cause displacement of stone formations, which will lead to trauma to the vas deferens.
In order to normalize the level of salt in the body, a rather strict diet has been shown, which will exclude the possibility of the formation of new stones in the prostate ducts.
Chlamydial prostatitis
The specificity of this form of prostatitis depends on the nature of the pathogen. Chlamydia has signs of bacterial and viral infection. Therefore, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis in this case is necessarily complex.
Detailed clinical studies of prostate secretion and other test results are very important in this form of the disease. After all, the appointment of a particular drug will directly depend on the duration and stage of the disease.
Even antibiotic therapy, which is a priority in the treatment of most types of prostatitis, may not be effective without detailed laboratory analysis.
