Although the reasons for the onset of the inflammatory process are different, the success of complete recovery is guaranteed by a comprehensive treatment of prostatitis. The disease in men has become significantly "younger". After all, medical statistics claim that in recent decades, more than half of men between the ages of twenty and forty have suffered from inflammation of the prostate gland.
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 the systemic treatment of the prostate gland and its effectiveness.
Types and characteristics of complex therapy
At the present stage, the main methods for complex treatment of prostatitis are offered:
- Antibacterial therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory treatment.
- The use of immunostimulatory therapy.
- Physiotherapeutic procedures.
- Prostate massage.
What are the characteristics of each method?
Medicines. It is based on the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Antibiotics are recommended for bacterial prostatitis. The sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to a particular antibiotic is taken into account when choosing an antibacterial drug.
Recently, urologists have prescribed a group of macrolides. These are a new generation of drugs that have the ability to penetrate the tissues of the prostate. Their advantage is that they have no toxic effect, do not kill the intestinal microflora. Antibiotics are used for ten days. In acute and chronic prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are recommended.
Anti-inflammatory treatment involves the use of drugs that inhibit the development of the inflammatory process.
The most effective means of this type are suppositories, which provide the result of local anesthesia.
- Ichthyol suppositories - improve blood circulation.
- Propolis-based suppositories - have a wide range of action.
- Drugs that stimulate the immune system.
Echinacea extract also serves as an adjunct in the long-term treatment of chronic prostatitis.
All these types are effective only with prolonged use.
The benefits of physiotherapy and massage
Physiotherapeutic procedures are also important in the complex therapy of the prostate gland. What is their advantage?
- Improves the movement of lymph through the lymph vessels. As a result, cellular particles accumulated in the tissues are rapidly 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 gland are restored.
The most effective physiotherapeutic procedures are used:
- the use of low voltage direct current for medical purposes - galvanizing;
- the use of current pulses to restore the prostate - electrical stimulation;
- exposure to high frequency electromagnetic field - UHF therapy;
- magnetic therapy - the use of a constant or alternating magnetic field.
Physiotherapy is recommended for the treatment of chronic prostatitis. As a rule, such methods have no side effects and contraindications.
Urologists are convinced that proper prostate massage significantly improves the general condition:
- It has a beneficial effect on the muscular activity of the gland.
- Restores the movement of blood through the vessels.
- Promotes rapid penetration of drugs into the glandular tissue.
Different types of massage are used to treat inflammation, but in some cases it is undesirable:
- with various diseases of the rectum;
- massage increases the risk of infection in acute bacterial prostatitis.
You should be careful with the massage: it should be performed only by a qualified specialist who understands the reasons for the beginning of the inflammatory process.
Systemic treatment of the prostate allows you to get rid of the painful symptoms of the bladder and urethra, prevents severe complications of the genitourinary system and restores sexual activity.
In addition, all of these therapies reduce the chances of new exacerbations and restore prostate function. For every man this is a guarantee of good performance, healthy well-being.
The maximum positive result can be obtained only from the complex treatment of the disease.
