How to treat prostatitis so that it does not become chronic and why it is easy for them to get sick, but difficult to get rid of it - in our article.
What is prostatitis?
Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate, an organ that only men have. Located in the pelvic region, below the bladder. The urethra passes through the prostate.
Functions of the prostate:
- produces a secret gland (male sex hormone), which provides sperm motility and is part of semen;
- blocks the urethra during erection.
How to treat prostatitis depends on whether it is acute or chronic, but first, let's treat the symptoms.
How to understand that you are sick
Feelings in acute prostatitis:
- high fever, chills;
- pain when urinating, drip, or constantly flushing the toilet, although the bladder is empty;
- pain in the perineum - can be given under the testicles, rectum, genitals or sacrum;
- weakness of orgasm, there is no previous range of feelings during intercourse;
- burning;
- general discomfort - injured muscles, bones, joints - it may be difficult for the patient to explain what exactly;
- irritability;
- weakness.
Chronic prostatitis is acute, untreated. The pain disappears completely or is present all the time, but with less intensity, so that the patient does not pay attention to it. Periodically exacerbations occur in chronic prostatitis. The symptoms are the same as in acute.
One type of chronic prostatitis is chronic pelvic pain syndrome. He:
- persistent pain for several months in the pelvic area
- frequent urge to go to the bathroom,
- poor psycho-emotional state.
At the same time, there may be no bacteria in the secret of the prostate, and the pain is associated with other reasons.
The symptoms serve as a guideline for the doctor to determine the type and picture of how to treat prostatitis.
How to treat prostatitis
Due to a sedentary lifestyle and sedentary work, the blood stagnates. The cause can be infections, lack of sexual intercourse, hypothermia.
When the first symptoms appear - pain and temperature, you do not need to endure and wait for everything to happen on its own. Do not hesitate to consult a doctor.
With acute or exacerbated chronic prostatitis, you need to do a smear, culture of the genital tract to determine what type of disease (bacterial or non-bacterial), to perform an ultrasound of the prostate.
If in the analyzes: gonococci, chlamydia, trichomanad, then treat prostatitis with antibacterial drugs and take them with a partner.
If microorganisms such as staphylococci, streptococci, gardenella, mycoplasmas, ureaplasma, in this case, antibacterial drugs should not be taken. These microorganisms still live in a person, they are activated during hypothermia, blood stasis and decreased immunity. How to treat prostatitis in this case? Improve immunity and eliminate stagnation of blood in the pelvic organs, regularly attend preventive physiotherapy courses. At present, special physical equipment has been developed and is used successfully for the release of procedures for men.
What the specialist prescribes:
- antibiotics;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- drugs that make urination easier;
- special exercises to improve blood circulation;
- prostate massage;
- physiotherapy;
- vitamins.
The disease does not go away quickly. The acute inflammation phase lasts 5-7 days. After that, the symptoms become less pronounced. The patient thinks all is well and stops the treatment. This is the main mistake. Acute untreated prostatitis becomes chronic, and it's a life with constant discomfort during urination, sex, and when you sit down.
