In the initial stage, chronic prostatitis recurs through pain during urination, urination, episodic sexual dysfunction. All of these symptoms are relieved by a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the pain may temporarily disappear with regular analgesics.
Periods of temporary improvement after acute attacks of inflammation of the prostate may be the result of the mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later you will have to think about how to ensure a full life and after healing forget about prostatitis forever.
See a doctor as soon as possible
Unpleasant physical symptoms, indicative of a painful condition of the prostate, are often accompanied by depression and fears, which make men indefinitely postpone visits to the doctor. Many acknowledge the problem only at the stage when the disease is serious: the pain becomes unbearable, urination becomes torture or cannot be controlled, sexuality and impotence have long been established. At this stage, prostatitis is cured in very rare cases.
This perspective makes us think about the prevention and timely treatment of prostatitis at the first, even weak and rapidly passing signs. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis and pain in the groin are the first calls you need to answer. At that time, there was still a wide range of methods for the prevention and treatment of prostatitis. There are also cases and techniques that stop tissue overgrowth and even reduce the size of prostate adenomas. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured with radical surgery, as well as with medication and physiotherapy.
Doctors differ in their assessment of the results of non-surgical treatment of chronic prostatitis and adenoma. Some believe the lack of inflammation and the normal size of the prostate - a complete victory over the disease, others say that this is just a successful stage in the fight against recurrence of chronic prostatitis, which does not disappear.
Theoretical calculations are of much less interest to patients than the question of whether it is possible to avoid perineal pain, sexual dysfunction, and urinary incontinence at any age. After all, the main thing is the quality of life and whether a person has recovered from prostatitis or has just overcome its exacerbation is a secondary question.
In case of chronic prostatitis and especially during exacerbations of the disease, you can completely trust your doctor or try the treatment of prostatitis at home.
But with each approach, you must undergo a diagnosis in a medical facility to determine the causes and stages of the disease. Re-studies will show how much this or that treatment has helped, whether there are complications, the symptoms of which can be erased by temporary exposure to drugs.
Perineal pain, frequent trips to the toilet are just symptoms, the removal of which can only silence the chronic process leading to sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence. In addition to age, hypothermia, physical overload and stress, as well as serious infections and viruses can cause prostatitis.
Self-medication for prostate problems
In order to achieve the desired effect of decoctions of parsley, honey mixtures or infusions of garlic, it takes months of regular use, with careful observance of the technology for the production of these products from traditional medicine and the quality requirements of the ingredients.
With each method of treatment and regardless of the causes of the disease it will be necessary to change or adjust the diet. You will need to exclude synthesized food (chips, soft drinks, many types of pastries and cookies) and animal fats, to minimize fried and marinated dishes, as well as the use of alcohol, sugar, salt and hot spices: pepper, mustard, horseradish. A diet based on natural products with a predominance of fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy products, fish and seafood should not be a temporary restriction, but a new eating behavior that will contribute to the renewal and healing of the whole body.
In medicine, there are many cases where people have been cured of serious chronic diseases only by giving up bad habits and consistent hardening of the body.
