Prostatitis is an inflammatory process affecting the prostate gland. The reason for its occurrence is not entirely clear, but there is an opinion that it develops due to a violation of hemodynamics in the small pelvis. According to various statistics, this disease occurs in men from 30 to 50 years of age.
Symptoms of prostatitis in men can be very different, but the most common are:
- The intensity of pain sensations in the small pelvis is different, because the prostate gland is very strongly innervated. In addition, the pain can spread to the genitals, lower back or bladder.
- Violation of urination in the form of pain, pain, urinary retention, imperative urges. The color, amount and transparency of urine can also change.
- Disturbance of the general condition, for example, decreased performance, fever, dyspeptic disorders.
- Violation of sexual activity. They can manifest as a decrease in desire, erectile dysfunction and ejaculation, pain during ejaculation.
Complex treatment of prostatitis in men
In order for the treatment of prostatitis to be effective, it should be carried out for a long time and in a complex manner using various means.Complex treatment includes:
- drug treatment
- Treatment of prostatitis in men with folk remedies
- Physiotherapy
- A set of physical exercises
- Proper daily routines and nutrition
The extent and duration of prostatitis treatment will depend on the form, severity and course of the disease. For example, the treatment of acute prostatitis should be aimed primarily at alleviating the general condition of the patient. That is, first of all, the patient should be anesthetized and stabilized. This form of prostatitis requires hospitalization and emergency care. Treatment of chronic prostatitis is more focused on prolonging remission (a period of significant weakening of the symptoms of the disease). Patients with this form of the disease can receive prostatitis treatment at home and can be treated in medical institutions only during the exacerbation period. With the exacerbation of the disease, the patient must undergo a course of treatment of prostatitis with a massage, which greatly alleviates his condition and improves the functioning of the gland.
Which treatment to choose - traditional or folk?
Now many are asking:What is better to choose - phytotherapy or therapy using drugs?There are no clear answers to this question, as both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
- Therapy with traditional means has the advantage of being used purposefully. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroys it and thereby stops the inflammatory process. Treatment of prostatitis at home with the help of such means is very convenient if the process does not have a severe course and does not require constant medical supervision. However, this type of therapy has its drawbacks, as many drugs have side effects, as well as toxic effects on the body.
- Folk remedies can also be widely used in the treatment of prostatitis. Because many herbal remedies have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, spasmolytic and pain-relieving effects. Also, they are often well tolerated by patients without causing allergic reactions and other side effects. They can be used for a longer period of time than drug therapy and still have no toxic effects. But their disadvantage is that they are auxiliary. Prostatitis in men cannot be treated with folk remedies, because they do not act on a specific pathogen.
It is important!Experience shows that the most effective treatment regimen is often one that includes both medication and alternative therapy. All elements in this scheme complement each other and lead to more effective treatment of prostatitis.
