What is chronic prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a general term.This refers to the inflammatory process in the prostate gland.If a man does not start treatment on time, the inflammatory process becomes chronic.In this case, it becomes very difficult to compensate for the disease.

Is it possible to cure chronic prostatitis forever?According to doctors, this is quite possible.It is certainly more difficult to treat the chronic form of the disease, 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.Therefore, the disease has the following types:

1. Infectious, bacterial, congestive, fungal, hormonal-dystrophic, allergic and vegetovascular prostatitis are distinguished by their causes.
2. Depending on the nature of the disease, the disease can be acute or chronic.
3. According to the development of the process, the period of active inflammation, latent inflammation and period of remission are distinguished.
4. Depending on 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 gland, chronic diseases of the genitourinary system, decreased immunity, abnormalities in the acini structure, and hormonal disorders.Bad habits, obesity, blood circulation disorders in the pelvis, sedentary lifestyle, lack of sex, hypothermia, stress can also cause inflammation.

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's repeat that if you consult a doctor on time and undergo appropriate treatment, it is quite possible to put the disease into a stable remission stage.

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, the characteristic symptoms of inflammation of the pancreas:

• Chills, fever, increase in body temperature.Symptoms are typical of acute infectious/bacterial prostatitis.
• Difficulty urinating.
• Pain, soreness and itching when emptying the bladder.After urinating, the patient may feel as if the bladder has not been completely emptied.
• 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.

Methods of treatment of chronic prostatitis?

Lifestyle correction and diet

How to treat chronic prostatitis in men?

According to doctors, finally, it is possible to get rid of this disease only with a comprehensive approach.Therapy is incomplete without lifestyle adjustments.

The first thing a man should do is to remove bad habits from his life.Alcohol and smoking should be taboo.Alcohol and tobacco have a negative effect on blood circulation and the immune system.

Lifestyle correction also includes:

1. Sports activities.The patient needs physical activity to normalize blood flow in the pelvis and quickly stop the inflammatory process.There is no point in exhausting yourself with exercise.It is enough to visit the pool, do yoga or squash, walk and run more.
2. A satisfying sex life.Prostatitis is not a reason to refuse sex.Rather, on the contrary - sexual intercourse is very useful during prostatitis, because during intercourse the blood flow in the pelvis normalizes and excess prostate juice is removed.Men should use barrier contraception to avoid bacterial/fungal/viral contamination of their partner.
3. A balanced diet.A properly structured diet can have a positive effect on the male body.To get rid of chronic prostatitis, you need to eat more fish, vegetables, fruits, seafood, berries, dairy products, and meat.It is also useful to use honey, green tea, freshly squeezed juices and honey whipping.

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

Prostate massage and physiotherapy treatment

To treat chronic prostatitis, a man should participate in prostate massage sessions.Note that the procedure is prescribed for a stagnant form of the disease.Massage will not be helpful in acute bacterial/infectious/fungal prostatitis.

The urologist should massage the pancreas.The procedure itself does not take more than 3-5 minutes.The doctor puts on latex gloves, lubricates the index finger and inserts the finger into the patient's anus.

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

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

In addition to massage, the following helps with prostatitis:

• Acupuncture.
• Magnetic therapy with Almag-01 device.
• Hirudotherapy.
• Electrophoresis.
• Shock wave therapy.
• Moxibustion therapy.
• Su-Jock.

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

Drug treatment

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

The directly involved doctor decides which means will be used.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics are definitely prescribed for infectious, fungal and bacterial etiologies of the disease.

Duration of antibiotic therapy is 3-5 weeks.

In addition to antibiotics, the following are prescribed:

1. Bioregulatory peptides.Medicines in this group help normalize metabolic processes in the prostate, stabilize blood flow, accelerate the recovery of damaged tissues, and normalize erectile function.
2. Alpha-1 adrenergic blockers.Medicines help normalize urine output and eliminate dysuric disorders.
3. Herbal medicines.They normalize the work of the prostate, prevent stagnation and stimulate reparative processes.
4. Potency enhancing drugs.They are set as optional.

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

Traditional methods

Alternative medicine can be taken in addition to conservative treatment.Of course, home remedies are not a panacea, but their use helps to normalize urine flow and even improve erection.

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

Surgery

There are cases when conservative treatment does not give any results or prostatitis is accompanied by serious consequences.

Often, it is not possible to remove stones from the pancreas conservatively.

For prostatitis, 3 methods are used, including calculation:

• Prostatectomy is an operation in which the entire prostate gland is completely removed.It is prescribed for BPH, prostate cancer, acute prostatitis accompanied by abscess or phlegmon in the pelvic area.Prostatectomy is also used for calculous prostatitis.
• Prostate resection is an operation to remove part of the prostate gland.Calculosis is prescribed for prostatitis, BPH, prostate cancer, urinary retention, hematuria.
• Laser therapy.The least traumatic method.Laser therapy is an operation in which inflammatory processes in the pancreas are corrected or benign neoplasms are "vaporized" with the help of laser radiation.Indications for treatment are erectile dysfunction, prostatitis, BPH, urethral stricture, impotence due to prostatitis.

Before surgical treatment, the patient should undergo diagnostics.The decision on the expediency of the operation is made by the attending physician.Experience shows that surgical interventions are prescribed in exceptional cases.
