Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that affects the prostate. The reason for its occurrence is not fully understood, but there is an opinion that it develops in violation of hemodynamics in the small pelvis. According to various statistics, this disease occurs in men aged 30-50 years.
Signs of prostatitis in men can be very diverse, but most often they are:
- Pain sensations of different intensity in the small pelvis, since the prostate is quite strongly innervated. Additionally, the pain may radiate to the genitals, lower back, or bladder.
- Disorders of urination in the form of pain, pain, urinary retention, imperative urges. The color of urine, its quantity and transparency may also change.
- Violations of the general condition, such as decreased performance, fever, dyspeptic disorders.
- Violations of sexual activity. They can be manifested by a decrease in desire, erectile and ejaculation disorders, pain during ejaculation.
Complex treatment of prostatitis in men
In order for the treatment of prostatitis to be effective, it must be carried out for a long time and in a complex way, using various means. The complete treatment includes:
- pharmacotherapy
- Therapy of prostatitis in men with folk remedies
- Physiotherapy
- A series of physical exercises
- Proper daily routines and nutrition
The volume and duration of treatment for prostatitis will depend on the form of the disease, its severity and course. For example, treatment of acute prostatitis should primarily be aimed at improving the general condition of the patient. That is, first of all it is necessary to anesthetize and stabilize the patient. This form of prostatitis requires hospitalization and emergency care for the patient. And the treatment of chronic prostatitis is more aimed at prolonging remission (the period of significant weakening of the symptoms of the disease). Patients with this form of the disease can receive treatment for prostatitis at home, and only during the period of exacerbation be treated in medical institutions. With an exacerbation of the disease, the patient must necessarily undergo treatment of prostatitis with massage, which significantly relieves his condition and improves the functioning of the gland.
Which therapy to choose - traditional or folk?
Now many people ask:What is better to choose - herbal medicine or therapy using drugs?There are no definitive answers to this question, as both methods have their pros and cons.
- Therapy with conventional means has advantages in that it is used in a targeted manner. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroying it and thereby stopping the inflammatory process. Home treatment of prostatitis with the help of such remedies is very convenient if the process does not have a severe course and does not require constant medical supervision. But such therapy has its drawbacks, since many drugs have pronounced side effects, as well as a toxic effect on the body.
- Folk remedies in the treatment of prostatitis can also be widely used. Because many herbal remedies have pronounced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and analgesic effects. In addition, they are often well tolerated by patients, without causing allergic reactions or other side effects. They can be used much longer than drug therapy and still do not have toxic effects. However, their disadvantage is that they are auxiliary. Common prostatitis in men cannot be cured with folk remedies, since they do not act on a specific pathogen.
Important!As practice shows, the most effective treatment regimen is often one that includes both drugs and alternative therapy. All elements of this scheme complement each other and lead to more effective treatment of prostatitis.
