In the initial stage, chronic prostatitis recurs through pain during urination, urination, and episodic sexual dysfunction. All these symptoms are alleviated with a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the pain can temporarily disappear from simple analgesics.
Periods of temporary improvement after acute attacks of prostate inflammation may result from mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later you will have to think about how to ensure a full life and after the cure forget about prostatitis forever.
See a doctor as soon as possible
Unpleasant physical symptoms, which indicate a painful condition of the prostate, are often accompanied by depression and fears that cause men to indefinitely delay visits to the doctor. Many acknowledge the problem only at the stage when the disease is seriously started: the pain becomes unbearable, urination turns into torture or cannot be controlled, sexual and impotence is a long-established fact. At this stage prostatitis is treated in very rare cases.
This perspective makes us think about the prevention and timely treatment of prostatitis at the first, even weak and rapidly passing signs. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis and pain in the groin are the first call you need to answer. At that time, there was still a wide range of methods to prevent the treatment of prostatitis. There are also cases and techniques that stop excessive tissue growth and even reduce the size of prostate adenomas. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured with radical surgery, medication and physiotherapy.
Doctors differ in assessing the results of non-surgical treatment of chronic prostatitis and adenomas. Some believe that 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 phase in the fight against recurrence of chronic prostatitis, which does not disappear anywhere.
Theoretical calculations are much less interesting for patients than the question of whether it is possible at any age to avoid perineal pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary incontinence without problems. After all, the main thing is the quality of life, and whether a person has recovered from prostatitis or has just gotten over its worsening is a secondary question.
In the case of chronic prostatitis, and especially during the exacerbation of the disease, you can completely trust your doctor or try treatment for prostatitis at home.
But with any approach, you have to go through a diagnosis in a medical facility to determine the causes and stages of the disease. Repeated studies will show how much this or that treatment has helped, whether there are complications whose symptoms can be erased by temporary exposure to medications.
Pain in the perineum, frequent visits to the toilet are just symptoms, the resolution of which can only dampen the chronic process that leads to sexual dysfunction, urination disorders. The cause of prostatitis can also be age factors, hypothermia, physical overload and stress, as well as serious infections and viruses.
Self-medication for prostate problems
In order to achieve the desired effect from decoctions of parsley, honey mixture or infusion of garlic, it takes months of regular use, with careful observance of the technology of production of these products of traditional medicine and the requirements for the quality of ingredients.
Any way of treatment, regardless of the causes of the disease, will require a change or adjustment of diet. You will need to exclude synthesized foods (chips, soft drinks, many types of sweets and cookies) and animal fats, reduce fried and sour foods, as well as the use of alcohol, sugar, salt and hot 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 recovery and healing of the whole body.
In medicine, there are many cases when people are cured of serious chronic diseases only by giving up bad habits and consistent hardening of the body.
