When diagnosing chronic prostatitis, the methods of treatment will be determined by your doctor. This disease is very common in addition to prostate adenoma and is a rather serious problem for a man’s health. As a result of chronic prostatitis, the quality of intimate life deteriorates significantly, which is a huge discomfort.
This disease is an emerging inflammatory process in the tissues of the prostate gland. But not all men are in a hurry to seek professional help and so the disease starts significantly, it is not always known what this will lead to.
Prostatitis often leads to infertility and infection, which spreads rapidly to other internal organs, especially the bladder, testicles, and kidneys.
Causes and symptoms of the disease
Researchers have shown that prostatitis is increasingly occurring in young people. This is mainly due to sexually transmitted infections such as mycoplasmosis, gonorrhea, ureaplasmosis, etc. In the case of unprotected intercourse, infection with various diseases and their premature treatment inevitably leads to the development of such a disease.
It is an interesting fact that the development of this disease can develop in the case of chronic internal disease or even tooth decay. In this case, chronic prostatitis develops as a result of the hematogenous spread of the infection, otherwise this pathway can be called the spread of the infection through the blood within the body.
Even banal factors such as an unbalanced diet, weak immunity, colds too often, and the use of drugs that negatively affect a man’s defense functions play a role.
Overweight, lack of mobility, and even constipation affect the inhibition of pelvic blood circulation, most likely leading to prostatitis.
In acute form, prostatitis in a man manifests itself as follows:
- urinates too often;
- Typical feelings of bladder emptying that occur when urinating;
- pain occurs in the rectal region during bowel movements;
- various types of pain in the groin and behind the pubic area that are more pronounced after urination; The temperature
- rises quite often.
Chronic prostatitis is less intense:
- frequent urination that does not cause any particular discomfort to the man and becomes accustomed over time;
- not pronounced pain in the pelvis and perineum;
- sudden impotence.
Diagnosing prostatitis
As soon as a person notices the onset of the disease, he or she should consult a urologist immediately, as early treatment at an early stage is likely to lead to recovery.
After treating the patient, the urologist will diagnose them in the following ways:
- Palpation of the gland by penetration through the rectum. This procedure is an extremely inconvenient process for a man, but is necessary as it allows the practitioner to determine the size, density and structure of the prostate gland.
- An instrumental method that includes MRI and ultrasound. The latter procedure is aimed at identifying pathologies of the prostate, kidneys and internal organs. In this case, an ultrasound may be performed through the abdominal wall or transrectal ultrasound, which is performed through the rectum.
- Laboratory method, which may be general clinical or specialized. The first option involves a blood and urine test.
The second option includes:
- Infections are detected using the PCR technique by taking a swab from the urethra;
- smear inclusion for bacteriological culture;
- PSA analysis; Prostate secretion of
- is performed for microscopy.
Management
Prostatitis is treated with the following techniques:
- The doctor will prescribe symptomatic medications to alleviate the patient's condition.
- After proper research, the most effective targeted antibacterial agents are prescribed.
- Immunotherapeutic drugs.
- Anti-inflammatory drugs.
- After the acute phase, the patient is prescribed physiotherapy using prostate massage.
- Stimulation of non-specific resistance.
- Apply sedatives.
- One of the most important treatments is to change a man’s improper lifestyle, especially if he has a sedentary job and an unhealthy diet. The most effective method is walking in the fresh air and special gymnastics aimed at improving blood circulation in the pelvic region.
In the case of chronic prostatitis, the practitioner may prescribe a few different treatment methods, which are combined into a set of measures to heal the patient quickly. Of course, the prescribed vitamin preparations and herbal medicines should not be neglected.
When a urologist prescribes antibiotics, they are primarily guided by laboratory tests that show what bacteria to expose to. The most popular are macrolide drugs, 5-NOK, and similar agents designed to treat the disease, especially in the acute stage.
In some cases, surgery is indicated for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, this method is especially needed when the chronic stage passes into the prostate adenoma or when the urethra narrows.
In the case of physiotherapy, the specialist may prescribe:
- laser therapy;
- ultrasound phonophoresis;
- diadynaphoresis;
- microwave hypermia.
Effective treatment of chronic prostatitis is a complex measure designed not only to alleviate the patient's condition but also to prevent the possibility of complications.
In the case of a man with chronic prostatitis, the methods of treatment in this case should in no way interfere with regular sexual intercourse, but in this case the safety of the partner must be ensured.
It is important for all men to know that the chronic form of prostatitis is a precancerous condition, and neglect and fear of prescribed procedures can lead to adenoma and even the development of prostate cancer.
