Prostatitis: treatment and prevention

treatment of prostatitis by a doctor

Prostatitis is an inflammatory damage to the prostate gland in men, which significantly impairs the quality of life.

The reasons for the development of prostatitis

There are the following risk factors:

  • genital tract infections;
  • weakened immunity;
  • bad habits;
  • irregular sex life;
  • hypothermia of the body;
  • sedentary way of life.

These factors contribute to the intensification of slow inflammatory processes in the prostate gland (prostatitis). It is easier to help a patient in the early stages of the inflammatory process than to wait for the clinical manifestation of the disease in the form of various urinary disorders, reduced quality of sex life or difficulties in childbirth.

Symptoms of prostatitis

The absence of complaints in most patients in the early stages of the inflammatory process in the prostate (prostate gland) is due to the small number of pain receptors in the body itself.

Of course, you should consult a urologist when you are worried about:

  • painful sensations in the perineum, in the lower abdomen;
  • itching in the urethra;
  • the quality of sexual life decreases;
  • frequent urination occurs (not always painful);
  • you have to go to the toilet at night;
  • the sexual partner cannot become pregnant.

Fever, weakness and nervousness (including those caused by fears) are also possible.

You should not delay the start of treatment when symptoms (complaints) appear that may subside for a while but will progress without medical attention.

Complex treatment of prostatitis

For effective treatment it is necessary to consult your doctor. The diagnosis is based on complaints, examination data and test results. The high-quality examination guarantees success in the diagnosis (with identification of the reasons for it) and further treatment. The necessary examination can be done in a specialized clinic. If you already have in your hands the results of laboratory tests, ultrasound results, then the doctors at the clinic recommend that you take them with you to your appointment. This will help you save your family budget and shorten exam time.

In the complex therapy of prostatitis the doctors of the clinic use modern highly effective drugs, therapeutic procedures, therapeutic exercise, dietary recommendations. All this allows you to eliminate both the causes and consequences of the disease. Which leads to the fastest possible recovery of the patient's health.

Treatment of acute prostatitis

The basis of treatment is antibiotic therapy, individually tailored to a particular patient in a particular case. Anti-inflammatory, antipyretic drugs are used as auxiliary drugs. It is recommended to drink plenty of fluids and rest in bed. If it is impossible to urinate, a catheter is inserted to remove the urine. If an abscess develops, the patient undergoes a transurethral or transabdominal opening of the purulent focus.

Severe prostatitis requires urgent hospital treatment.

Effective treatment of chronic prostatitis

The complex effect on the prostate gland gives good results:

  1. Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal therapy is selected individually based on the results of laboratory tests and stage of the disease.
  2. Anti-inflammatory therapy.
  3. Preparations that restore weakened immunity.
  4. Prostate massage restores the structure and function of the organ and improves the supply of healing substances.
  5. Exercise therapy increases the effectiveness of the previous three points.
  6. Nutrition recommendations.

Prevention of prostatitis

Primary prevention involves preventing the disease as such in a healthy person.

  1. Fighting a sedentary lifestyle. Including exercise therapy.
  2. The most complete nutrition with the obligatory use of complexes of vitamins and minerals (microelements).
  3. If you do not have a permanent sexual partner, then the mandatory use of a condom during sexual activity. And the rejection of oral sex (all the same microbes live in the mouth as well as in the genitourinary system).
  4. If you have a regular sexual partner when urinary tract infections occur (and this can be a complication after colds, food poisoning and lack of hygiene), synchronous treatment is mandatory day after day and with the same drugs.
  5. If you and your partner have anal sex, it is mandatory to use a condom every time.
  6. Try not to lack sleep when possible. Counteract chronic stress (There are many books written on this topic with results). It makes sense for athletes to control overtraining when possible. And try to avoid frequent hypothermia (experiment with clothes), which undermines the body's resistance.
  7. If your sexual desire decreases, visit your urologist to maintain a regular sex life.

Secondary prevention involves preventing exacerbations and recurrences of existing disease.

In addition to the above recommendations, it is recommended that you add the following:

  1. To be examined by a urologist for hidden infections.
  2. Use drugs that improve the structure and function of the prostate gland.
  3. Treatment of all foci of infection, including sinusitis and caries.
  4. Limit alcohol intake if possible.
  5. The diet should contain a sufficient amount of dietary fiber: vegetables, fruits, herbs, whole grains and always bran.
  6. Treatment of concomitant diseases that reduce the effectiveness of therapy. The most common and significant of them are diabetes, vascular disorders, metabolic syndrome, hormonal deficiency (including the main male hormone - testosterone).
