Prostatitis is an inflammatory process affecting the prostate gland. The reason for its occurrence is not completely clear, but it is believed that it develops due to a violation of hemodynamics in the small pelvis. According to various statistics, this disease occurs in men aged 30-50.
In men, the signs of prostatitis can be very diverse, but the most common are the following:
- Pain sensations of varying intensity in the pelvis, because the prostate is quite strongly innervated. In addition, the pain may radiate to the genitals, lower back, or bladder.
- Urinary disorders in the form of pain, pain, urinary retention, urge to urinate. The color, amount and transparency of the urine can also change.
- Violations of the general condition, for example, reduced performance, fever, dyspeptic disorders.
- Violation of sexual activity. They can manifest as a decrease in desire, erectile dysfunction and ejaculation, pain during ejaculation.
Complex treatment of prostatitis in men
In order for the treatment of prostatitis to be effective, it must be carried out over a long period of time and in a complex manner, using various means. Comprehensive treatment includes:
- drug therapy
- Treatment of prostatitis in men with folk remedies
- Physiotherapy
- A set of physical exercises
- Proper daily routine and nutrition
The amount and duration of prostatitis treatment depends on the form, severity and course of the disease. For example, the treatment of acute prostatitis should primarily be aimed at relieving the patient's general condition. That means, first of all, the patient must be anesthetized and stabilized. This form of prostatitis requires hospitalization and emergency care for the patient. And the treatment of chronic prostatitis is more aimed at prolonging remission (a period of significant weakening of the symptoms of the disease). Patients suffering from this form of the disease can get prostatitis at home and can be treated in medical institutions only during the period of exacerbation. As the disease worsens, the patient must necessarily undergo prostatitis massage treatment, which greatly relieves his condition and improves the functioning of the gland.
Which therapy should we choose - traditional or folk?
Now many people are asking:What is better to choose - phytotherapy or drug therapy?There is no definite answer to this question, because both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
- The advantage of therapy with traditional means is that it is used in a targeted manner. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroys it, and thereby stops the inflammatory process. Treatment of prostatitis at home with such remedies is very convenient if the process does not have a serious course and does not require constant medical supervision. However, such therapy has its drawbacks, as many drugs have pronounced side effects, as well as toxic effects on the body.
- Folk remedies for the treatment of prostatitis can also be widely used. Because many herbal medicines have pronounced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and pain-relieving effects. In addition, patients often tolerate them well, without causing allergic reactions and other side effects. They can be used much longer than drug therapy and still have no toxic effects. However, the disadvantage is that they are auxiliary in nature. In men, prostatitis cannot be cured with folk remedies, because they do not affect a specific pathogen.
Important!As practice shows, the most effective regimen is often the one that includes both drug and alternative therapy. All elements of the system complement each other and lead to more effective treatment of prostatitis.
