Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. Hypothermia, sedentary lifestyle, infection (bacterial - most often) become the cause of the pathological process. The prostate gland swells, urination is disturbed, there is pain and then it is constantly disturbed - in the perineum, inside the urethra, above the pubic area. To get rid of the inflammation faster, you should contact a urologist who will prescribe a medication for prostatitis. Today, a wide range of drugs exist, thus enabling the rapid release of the disease, preventing the transition of the pathology to chronic form.
Characteristics of the treatment of prostatitis
It is important to understand that only one urologist can prescribe an effective cure for prostatitis. He will conduct an investigation and interview on the events before the development of inflammation; sends for ultrasound (or TRUS), prints a referral for laboratory diagnostics. The results of these tests are of great significance - the doctor will focus on them when prescribing this or that medication.
If you buy and take an anti-inflammatory drug for personal reasons alone, you may, in your sole discretion, not only make a mistake but also damage your body. In some cases, such treatment is simply ineffective, while the acute form of prostatitis enters a chronic stage.
Certain dietary and lifestyle recommendations should be followed when treating inflammation of the prostate gland.
- Alcohol consumption is contraindicated throughout the course of therapy. The treatment of prostatitis is not compatible with the presence of alcohols in the blood.
- Denial of intimacy. Sex is associated with faster production of hormones. This effect stresses inflammation of the prostate. It is also important to understand that unprotected intimacy increases the likelihood of the pathogen microflora spreading from a man to a woman’s genital tract. The full-fledged act is not due to erectile dysfunction, a characteristic erectile dysfunction typical of men with prostatitis.
- Do not eat fried, spicy, sour and salty foods. Such a diet negatively affects the condition of the prostate as the enzymes irritate the tissue, increasing the pain and aggravating the inflammation.
- It is impossible to create favorable conditions for the monitoring of personal hygiene and its intimate part for the development of the inflammatory process, especially if the prostatitis is caused by a bacterial flora.
It is important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing chronic conditions before starting a therapeutic course. The fact that certain anti-prostatitis drugs cannot be taken in the presence of certain pathologies.
