For a male health specialist, the treatment regimen for prostatitis is always extremely straightforward. General rules are established depending on the nature of the disease. Medicines can only differ if there is an individual difference between patients.
Of course, the type of pathogen of the pathology can also influence the therapeutic program for treating inflammation of the prostate. Prostatitis develops into a chronic form not only from acute infectious inflammation. The cause is often the viral form of the disease. Various non-specific prostatitis are treated somewhat differently than bacterial.
Before choosing a treatment regimen, it is necessary to accurately and correctly diagnose the patient. This is only possible with the appropriate competence of the attending physician.
Infectious prostatitis
Various viruses can cause painful changes in the function and structure of the prostate. Typically, they are sexually transmitted and are therefore treated under the supervision of a dermatovenerologist.
The doctor, after ordering laboratory tests, selects the necessary antiviral drugs for a particular case. They are often associated with antispasmodics. If the chronic prostatitis is at an acute stage, it may be necessary to take pain relievers.
Apart from the exacerbation, direct massage of the prostate is indicated. Such therapy helps to quickly remove fluids containing 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 symptoms of inflammation of the prostate.
Physiotherapy is also an integral part of the treatment of chronic prostatitis. The material influence procedures help to influence the affected organ very gently and delicately, restoring the health of the body.
In this case, it is important not only directed, but also the general impact. After all, an effective treatment regimen for prostatitis always involves an integrated approach to the health of the patient.
Candidal prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate caused by a fungal infection is treated in much 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 sex from woman to man. And an infected man has a healthy partner. Contact with an untreated partner will void 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 surgical intervention. Indeed, by multiplying, candida causes pathological structural changes in the tissues of the prostate. The consequences are often irreversible. The advanced form of the disease may even require radical intervention by the surgeon and complete removal of the organ affected by the fungus.
Calculous prostatitis
Congestion of the prostate can also have serious consequences and require intracavitary intervention. With timely medical care, laser or sound therapy can be suppressed. It is important to turn stone deposits into sand in time, which can be naturally excreted from the body.
It is unacceptable to use prostate massage during exacerbation of the chronic form of congestive prostatitis. This can provoke displacement of stony formations, which will lead to trauma to the vas deferens.
To normalize the level of salts in the body, a fairly strict diet is indicated, which will exclude the possibility of the formation of new stones in the ducts of the prostate.
Chlamydial prostatitis
The specificity of this form of inflammation of the prostate depends on the nature of the pathogen. Chlamydiae show signs of bacterial and viral infection. Therefore, the treatment regimen of chronic prostatitis in this case is necessarily complex.
In this form of the disease, detailed clinical studies of prostate secretions and other test results are very important. After all, the appointment of a particular drug will directly depend on the duration and stage of the course 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.
