Therapeutic and alternative methods for treating prostatitis in men

Prostatitis is a disease common to men. The disease begins with acute pain when urinating. This disease mainly affects people aged 35 and older. Medicine represents a wide range of drugs for the treatment of both chronic and acute prostatitis. However, the second case is difficult to deal with. Therefore, a doctor should be consulted when the first symptoms of the disease appear.

Causes of prostatitis

Prostatitis is a male disease that presents as an acute or chronic inflammation of the prostate gland. The disease is observed at the age of 20 years. In boys, this pathology is extremely rare until puberty. Inflammation is caused by an infection that enters the prostate through urine. Sometimes the infection occurs through the wall of the rectum. The microflora alone cannot cause disease.

Causes of prostatitis:

  • long stay of a seated person;
  • constipation;
  • hypothermia;
  • active sex or lack thereof;
  • obesity;
  • alcohol consumption;
  • radiation exposure;
  • castration.

Prostatitis in older men leads to cancer. Both benign tumors are in the form of adenoma and malignant hyperplasia. Men should undergo a medical examination at least twice a year to detect the disease at an early stage of development.

The role of the prostate in children has not been studied. In an adult, he / she performs the following tasks:

  • liquefies sperm;
  • ensures sperm viability;
  • produces prostaglandins;
  • provides ejaculation;
  • prevents urine from entering the sperm during ejaculation.
what does prostatitis look like in men

The prostate is surrounded by veins and channels. This includes the walls of the urethra, bladder, and fallopian tubes in the inflammatory process. The situation is exacerbated by tissue edema due to the high blood supply to the organ. The prostate is well innervated, so the process of inflammation and urination causes severe pain.

Symptoms

syndromes are difficult to diagnose due to course variability. The man has problems with urine. In this case, sharp or pulling pain occurs. Inflammation of the prostate increases. Sclerosis of the neck of the bladder develops. This process closes the ureter. Manifestations of different forms of prostatitis in men:

  • Acute severe inflammation of the prostate. The man has a strong fever, the body temperature reaches +38. . . + 39 degrees Celsius. There is pain in the groin and perineum. One feels not only during urination but also during defecation.
  • Chronic form is less of a concern than acute. Therefore, the signs cannot manifest immediately. Body temperature rises to +37 degrees Celsius. Sometimes mucus or pus is released when you urinate. They are characteristic only of the chronic form of the course.

The symptoms are unique to each person, but some are common to all patients:

  • urine flows out slowly, sometimes urination is done dropwise;
  • the stream is intermittent and the bowel movement itself is delayed;
  • incomplete emptying of the bladder;
  • They are often forced to use the toilet at night.

The daily urine output of a healthy person is 1000-2000 ml / day. Desires are 4-5 to 10-12 times normal. In disease, urine is not excreted in sufficient quantities and therefore accumulates in the bladder. If more than 350 ml is formed, an urge to empty may be felt. The desire is enhanced by inflammation, which irritates the bladder wall.

Sometimes patients have low blood in their urine. This phenomenon is rare but quite dangerous. Internal bleeding is difficult to stop. This is for the following reasons:

  • purulent vascular lesions in the urethra;
  • trauma in examination of urogenital ducts;
    • Presence of
  • cancerous tumors.

Medication

The disease responds well to medication in the early stages of the drug. Medication should be comprehensive. The following agents are used to treat prostatitis:

  • antibiotics;
  • alpha-blockers;
  • hormonal;
  • muscle relaxants;
  • immune stimulating drugs;
  • rectal suppositories.

Medications are prescribed for each person individually. The doctor takes into account the characteristics of the body, the nature of the inflammatory process and the hormonal background. Self-treatment of the disease does not result in positive results. This leads to the development of a chronic form that is much more difficult to eliminate.

Antibiotics

Prostatitis is primarily treated with antibacterial drugs. This is due to the fact that the disease is most often bacterial. The medicine is prescribed at the discretion of the doctor.If the inflammation of the prostate glandis ​​caused by a stagnation of the blood, you do not need to take antibiotics.

These antibiotics have a broad spectrum. They enter the prostate along with the bloodstream. It reduces the presence of bacteria in organ tissues after the first application. The drugs have bactericidal and bacteriostatic properties. Effective in the fight against acute prostatitis.

Alpha blockers

These drugs act on the receptors on the muscle cells in the bladder and prostate. As a result, the tone of the muscles and blood vessels decreases. Relaxation of smooth muscles results in a decrease in urine flow and inflammation.

The dose and course of therapy will be determined by your doctor after the test.

Hormone therapy

The prostate gland is a hormone-dependent organ. To speed up the healing process, patients are prescribed hormonal medications. They can reduce inflammation in the tissues, which facilitates the flow of blood and urine. Hormonal agents affect not only the prostate but the whole body as a whole. Failure to follow your doctor’s instructions can lead to unforeseen consequences.

Glucocorticoids are administered during electrophoresis. Hormone therapy helps to restore the tissues of the gland and the blood vessels that surround it.

Muscle relaxants

Anesthetics are used to reduce muscle tone. They improve blood circulation and reduce prostate function.

The active substances are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream after taking the medicine. They reach the affected area and reduce the inflammatory response by reducing muscle tone. This therapy is beneficial for those with a sedentary lifestyle. Muscle relaxers help eliminate pelvic congestion.

Stimulate immunity

During the acute course of the disease, the state of immunity decreases significantly. Not only does the body’s overall ability to fight infections deteriorate, but so does the local one. This exacerbates prostatitis.

Immunomodulators have immunostimulatory and antibacterial properties. It increases the body's ability to fight viruses, bacteria and fungi.

Rectal candles

Drugs used to treat prostatitis are usually taken orally, as tablets or capsules. However, the disease requires long-term treatment and the drugs adversely affect the liver, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, rectal suppositories are used to provide general and local medical care. The advantage of this form lies in the direct effect on the tissues adjacent to the prostate gland.

Treatment with folk remedies
