Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. Hypothermia, a sedentary lifestyle, infection (bacterial - most often) becomes the cause of the development of the pathological process. The prostate gland swells, urination is disturbed, pains arise and then constantly disturb - in the perineum, inside the urethra, above the pubis. To get rid of inflammation faster, you need to contact a urologist who will prescribe a medicine for prostatitis. Today there is a wide range of medications, so it will be possible to quickly get rid of the disease, preventing the transition of pathology to a chronic form.
Features of the treatment of prostatitis
It is important to understand that only a urologist can prescribe an effective cure for prostatitis. He will conduct an examination, interview about the events that preceded the development of inflammation; will send you for ultrasound (or TRUS), write out a referral for laboratory diagnostics. The results of these studies are of great importance - the doctor focuses on them, prescribing this or that drug.
If you buy and take a medicine for prostatitis solely for personal reasons, at your discretion, you can not only make a mistake, but also harm the body. And in some cases, such treatment is simply ineffective, while prostatitis from an acute form goes into a chronic stage.
During the treatment of inflammation of the prostate gland, you should adhere to certain recommendations regarding nutrition and lifestyle.
- It is contraindicated to consume alcohol throughout the entire therapeutic course. Treatment of prostatitis is incompatible with the presence of alcohols in the blood.
- Refuse intimacy. Sexual intercourse involves the accelerated production of hormones. This effect is stress for the inflamed prostate gland. It is also important to understand that unprotected intimacy increases the likelihood of the transfer of pathogenic microflora from a man into a woman's genital canal. A full-fledged act will not be due to erectile dysfunction - a typical erectile dysfunction inherent in men with prostatitis.
- Do not eat fried, spicy, sour and salty foods. Such a diet negatively affects the condition of the prostate, as enzymes irritate its tissue, increasing pain and aggravating inflammation.
- To monitor personal hygiene, and its intimate part in the first place, it is impossible to create favorable conditions for the development of the inflammatory process, especially if prostatitis is caused by bacterial flora.
Also, before starting a therapeutic course, it is important to inform the doctor about existing chronic diseases. The fact is that some medicines for prostatitis cannot be taken in the presence of certain pathologies.
