For a male health professional, the treatment regimen for prostatitis is always extremely simple. The general rules are formed based on the nature of the disease. Medicines can differ only if there is an individual difference between patients.
Of course, the type of pathogen of the pathology can also affect the therapeutic program for the treatment of inflammation of the prostate gland. Prostatitis develops in a chronic form not only from acute infectious inflammation. Often the cause is the viral form of the disease. Different non-specific prostatitis is treated slightly differently than bacterial.
Before choosing a treatment regimen, it is necessary to accurately and correctly diagnose the patient. This is possible only with the appropriate competence of the attending physician.
Infectious prostatitis
Various viruses can cause painful changes in the functioning and structure of the prostate gland. As a rule, they are sexually transmitted and are therefore treated under the supervision of a dermatologist.
The doctor, after prescribing laboratory tests, selects the antiviral drugs needed for a particular case. They are often combined with antispasmodics. If chronic prostatitis is in the acute stage, analgesics may be needed.
Outside the exacerbation, direct prostate massage is indicated. Such therapy helps to quickly remove fluids with 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. Competent use of bacteriostatic and bactericidal drugs contributes to the complete remission of the symptoms of inflammation of the prostate gland.
Physical therapy is also an integral part of the treatment of chronic prostatitis. Hardware treatment procedures help to have a very gentle and delicate effect on the affected organ, restoring the health of the body.
In this case, not only the targeted but also the overall impact is important. Ultimately, an effective treatment regimen for prostatitis always involves an integrated approach to the patient's health.
Candidal prostatitis
Inflammation of the prostate gland caused by a fungal infection is treated in almost 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.
Eventually, the Candida fungus is transmitted during sexual intercourse from a woman to a man. And an infected man of a healthy partner. Contact with an untreated partner will cancel 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 surgery. In fact, when it multiplies, Candida leads to structural pathological changes in the tissues of the prostate gland. The consequences are often irreversible. The advanced form of the disease may require even radical intervention of the surgeon and complete removal of the organ affected by the fungus.
Calculous prostatitis
Congestion in the prostate can also lead to serious consequences and the need for intracavitary intervention. With timely medical help, laser or sound therapy can be discontinued. It is important to turn the calculous deposits into sand in time, which will naturally separate from the body.
It is unacceptable to use prostate massage during the exacerbation of the chronic form of stagnant prostatitis. It 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 rather strict diet has been shown, which will exclude the possibility of the formation of new stones in the prostate ducts.
Chlamydial prostatitis
The specificity of this form of inflammation of the prostate gland depends on the nature of the pathogen. Chlamydia has signs of bacterial and viral infection. Therefore, the treatment regimen for chronic prostatitis in this case is necessarily complex.
In this form of the disease, detailed clinical studies of prostate secretion and other test results are very important. After all, the appointment of a particular drug will depend directly on the duration and stage 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.
