Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that affects the prostate gland. 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 to 50 years.
Signs of prostatitis in men can be very diverse, but most often they are:
- Pain sensations of varying intensity in the small pelvis, as the prostate gland is quite strongly innervated. In addition, the pain may radiate to the genitals, lower back, or bladder.
- Urination disorders in the form of pain, pain, retention of urine, imperative urges. The color of urine, its amount and transparency can also change.
- Disturbances of the general condition, such as reduced work capacity, fever, dyspeptic disorders.
- Disorders of sexual activity. They can manifest as reduced 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 long-term and comprehensively, using various means. Comprehensive treatment includes:
- drug therapy
- Treatment of prostatitis in men with folk remedies
- Physiotherapy
- A set of physical exercises
- Proper daily life and nutrition
The volume and duration of prostatitis treatment will depend on the form of the disease, its severity and course. For example, the treatment of acute prostatitis should be aimed primarily at relieving the patient's general condition. 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 (a period of significant weakening of the symptoms of the disease). Patients with this form of the disease can be treated for prostatitis at home and only in the period of exacerbation be treated in medical facilities. In case of exacerbation of the disease, the patient must undergo a course of prostatitis treatment with massage, which significantly alleviates his condition and improves the functioning of the gland.
What therapy should I choose - traditional or folk?
Now many people are asking themselves:What is better to choose - phytotherapy or drug therapy?There is no definitive answer to this question, as both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
- Conventional therapy has the advantage of being targeted. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroying it and thus stopping the inflammatory process. Home treatment of prostatitis using such means is very convenient if the process is not severe 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 for the treatment of prostatitis can also be widely used. Because many herbal medicines have pronounced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and analgesic effects. Also, they are often well tolerated by patients without causing allergic reactions and other side effects. They can be used much longer than drug therapy and still not have a toxic effect. However, their disadvantage is that they are auxiliary. Current prostatitis in men cannot be cured with folk remedies, as they do not act on a specific pathogen.
