Although the causes of the appearance of the inflammatory process are different, the success of a complete cure is guaranteed by a comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. Men's disease has become significantly "younger". After all, medical statistics claim that in the past few decades, more than half of men in their twenties to forty suffer from inflammation of the prostate.
Therapies
Inflammation of the prostate occurs in different ways: in acute and chronic form, it can be infectious, and non-infectious.
Urologists distinguish these types of prostatitis. Therefore, we will reveal the features of systemic prostate treatment and its effectiveness.
Types and features of complex therapy
At the current stage, the main methods of complex therapy of prostatitis are offered:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- The use of immunostimulatory therapy.
- Physiotherapy procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the characteristics of each method?
Medication. It is based on the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
For bacterial prostatitis, antibiotics are recommended. When choosing an antibacterial drug, the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to a specific antibiotic is taken into account.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a group of macrolides. These are drugs of a new generation that have the ability to penetrate the tissues of the prostate. Their advantage is that they do not have a toxic effect, do not kill the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics are used for ten days. Antibacterial drugs are recommended for acute and chronic prostatitis.
Anti-inflammatory therapy includes the use of drugs that inhibit the development of the inflammatory process.
The most effective means of this type are suppositories, which provide a local anesthetic result.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Suppositories based on propolis - have a wide range of action.
- Medicines that stimulate the immune system.
Echinacea extract is also used as an adjunct in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All of these types are only effective with prolonged use.
The benefits of physiotherapy and massage
In complex prostate therapy, physiotherapeutic procedures are also important. What is their advantage?
- Improves the movement of lymph through lymphatic vessels. As a result, the cellular particles accumulated in the tissues are quickly absorbed with the addition of blood and lymph.
- Blood circulation increases, this contributes to the rapid penetration of drugs into the prostate.
- Metabolic processes in the prostate are restored.
The most effective physiotherapy procedures are used:
- the use of low-voltage direct current for medicinal purposes - galvanizing;
- the use of current pulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- exposure to a 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. As a rule, these methods do not have side effects and contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that the correct massage of the prostate gland significantly improves the general condition:
- Has a beneficial effect on the muscle activity of the gland.
- Restores the movement of blood through the vessels.
- Promotes the rapid penetration of drugs into the tissues of the gland.
Different types of massage are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases they are unwanted:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- massage increases the risk of infection for acute bacterial prostatitis.
You should be careful with massage: only a qualified specialist who understands the causes of the appearance of the inflammatory process should perform it.
Systemic treatment of the prostate allows you to get rid of painful symptoms of the bladder and urethra, prevents serious complications of the genitourinary system and restores sexual activity.
In addition, all these therapies reduce the risk of further exacerbations and restore the functioning of the prostate. For each man, it is the guarantee of a good capacity for work, of a healthy well-being.
The maximum positive result can be obtained only from the complex treatment of the disease.
