What is chronic prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a general term.This refers to an inflammatory process in the prostate gland.If a person does not start timely treatment, the inflammatory process becomes chronic.In this case, it becomes much more difficult to compensate for the disease.

Is it possible to cure chronic prostatitis forever?According to doctors, this is quite possible.The chronic form of the disease is certainly more difficult to treat, but nothing is impossible.When choosing treatment tactics, the form of the disease and the severity of the inflammatory process are taken into account.

Note that there is a classification of prostatitis.According to him, there are the following types of diseases:

1. According to the causes of occurrence, infectious, bacterial, congestive, fungal, hormonal-dystrophic, allergic and vegetative-vascular prostatitis are distinguished.
2. Depending on the nature of the disease, the disease can be acute or chronic.
3. According to the development of the process, a period of active inflammation, a period of latent inflammation and remission are distinguished.
4. According to the duration and localization of the source of inflammation, prostatitis can be catarrhal, follicular and parenchymal.

There are many causes of chronic prostatitis.The main ones are the penetration of infectious agents/fungi/viruses into the prostate, chronic diseases of the genitourinary system, lowered immunity, abnormalities in the structure of the acini, hormonal disorders.Bad habits, obesity, impaired blood flow in the pelvis, sedentary lifestyle, lack of sex, hypothermia and stress can also cause the inflammatory process.

The principle of treatment of chronic prostatitis is selected based on the etiology of the inflammatory process.

Symptoms of the disease

The question of whether prostatitis can be treated is clear.Let us repeat that it is quite possible to transfer the disease to a stage of stable remission if you consult a doctor in time and undergo appropriate treatment.

What are the characteristic symptoms of chronic prostatitis?

The main symptom is pain.Pain sensations are localized in the perineum.Sometimes the pain "radiates" to the lower back, tailbone, testicles and even the penis.

Unpleasant sensations intensify during urination and sexual intercourse.

In addition to pain, characteristic signs of inflammation of the pancreas are:

• Chills, fever, elevated body temperature.Signs are characteristic of acute infectious/bacterial prostatitis.
• Difficulty urinating.
• Pain, soreness and itching when emptying the bladder.After urinating, the patient may feel that he has not completely emptied his bladder.
• Slow erection or lack thereof.
• Premature ejaculation.
• The appearance of mucous, purulent or whitish discharge from the urethra.These symptoms are characteristic of fungal, bacterial and infectious forms of prostatitis.
• Lack of orgasm.
• Decreased sperm count.

If the above symptoms appear, you should immediately contact a urologist and undergo appropriate diagnostics.

Treatment methods for chronic prostatitis?

Lifestyle and diet adjustments

How to treat chronic prostatitis in men?

According to doctors, it is possible to finally get rid of this disease only with an integrated approach.Therapy is not complete without lifestyle adjustments.

The first thing a person should do is to eliminate bad habits from his life.Alcohol and cigarettes should become taboo.Alcohol and tobacco negatively affect blood circulation and the immune system.

Lifestyle adjustments also include:

1. Sports activities.To normalize the blood flow in the pelvis and quickly stop the inflammatory process, the patient needs physical activity.There is no point in exhausting yourself with training.It is enough to visit the pool, do yoga or squash, walk more and run.
2. Full sex life.Prostatitis is not a reason to refuse sex.On the contrary, sex is very useful for inflammation of the prostate because during sexual intercourse blood circulation in the pelvis is normalized and excess prostate juice is released.Men should use barrier contraception to avoid infecting their partner with bacteria/fungi/viruses.
3. A balanced diet.A properly structured diet can have a positive effect on a man's body.To get rid of chronic prostatitis, you should eat more fish, vegetables, fruits, seafood, berries, dairy products and meat.The consumption of honey, green tea, freshly squeezed juices and beating honey is also beneficial.

Doctors also strongly recommend avoiding physical fatigue and sleeping at least 6-8 hours a day.

Prostate massage and physiotherapy procedures

To cure chronic prostatitis, a man should attend prostate massage sessions.Keep in mind that the procedure is prescribed for a stagnant form of the disease.In acute bacterial/infectious/fungal prostatitis, massage will not help.

A urologist should massage the pancreas.The procedure itself lasts no more than 3-5 minutes.The doctor puts on latex gloves, lubricates the index finger and inserts the finger into the patient's anus.

Each lobe of the pancreas is then gradually massaged.After 5-6 sessions, the organ becomes less swollen, blood circulation in the prostate normalizes, excess prostate juice disappears and even the erection improves.

You can also have a massage at home.To do this, you will need a specialized device called a prostate stimulator.Hardware massage is as effective as finger massage.In addition, when using stimulants, the procedure itself is more pleasant.

In addition to massage for prostatitis, they help:

• Acupuncture.
• Magnetotherapy with Almag-01 device.
• Hirudotherapy.
• Electrophoresis.
• Shock wave therapy.
• Moxibustion therapy.
• sou jock.

Physiotherapy procedures and prostate massage can be used for both preventive and therapeutic purposes.

Drug treatment

To prevent the development of complications of prostatitis, including adenoma and pancreatic cancer, the patient must take certain medications.

Which means to use is decided directly by the attending physician.

In infectious, fungal and bacterial etiology of the disease, antibiotics with a broad spectrum of action are necessarily prescribed.

The duration of antibiotic therapy is 3-5 weeks.

In addition to antibiotics are prescribed:

1. Bioregulatory peptides.Medicines from this group help to normalize metabolic processes in the prostate, stabilize blood flow, accelerate the regeneration of damaged tissue and normalize erectile function.
2. Alpha-1 adrenergic blockers.Medicines help to normalize the flow of urine and balance dysuric disorders.
3. Herbal medicines.They normalize prostate function, prevent stagnation and stimulate reparative processes.
4. Drugs to increase potency.They are set at will.

If necessary, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antispasmodics and muscle relaxants are prescribed.These drugs are needed to relieve spasms and pain.

Traditional methods

Alternative medicine can be considered as a supplement to conservative treatment.Of course, homemade remedies are not a panacea, but their use helps to normalize the flow of urine and even improve erection.

Decoctions, tinctures and baths can be used in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.

• Prostate resection is an operation in which part of the prostate gland is removed.It is prescribed for calculous prostatitis, DPH, prostate cancer, urinary retention, hematuria.
• Laser therapy.The least traumatic method.Laser therapy is an operation in which, with the help of laser radiation, inflammatory processes in the pancreas are leveled or benign neoplasms are "vaporized".Indications for treatment are erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, BPH, narrowing of the ureter, impotence due to prostatitis.

Before surgical treatment, the patient must undergo diagnostics.The decision on the expediency of the operation is made by the attending physician.As practice shows, surgical intervention is prescribed in exceptional cases.
