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 are constantly altered: 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 drug for prostatitis. Today there is a wide range of drugs, due to which it will be possible to quickly get rid of the disease, avoiding the transition from the 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. You will conduct an examination, an interview about the events that preceded the development of inflammation; send an ultrasound (or TRUS), write a referral for laboratory diagnosis. The results of these studies are of great importance: the doctor focuses on them and prescribes this or that drug.
If you buy and take a drug 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 in an acute form goes to a chronic stage.
During the treatment of inflammation of the prostate, certain dietary and lifestyle recommendations should be followed.
- It is contraindicated to consume alcohol during the entire therapeutic course. The 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 on the inflamed prostate gland. It is also important to understand that unprotected intimacy increases the likelihood of transfer of pathogenic microflora from the male to the female genital canal. A full-blown act is not due to erectile dysfunction, a typical erectile dysfunction inherent in men with prostatitis.
- Do not eat fried, spicy, acidic and salty foods. Such a diet adversely affects the state of the prostate, as enzymes irritate its tissue, increasing pain and aggravating inflammation.
- To control personal hygiene, and your 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.
In addition, before starting a therapeutic course, it is important to inform the doctor about existing chronic diseases. The fact is that some drugs for prostatitis cannot be taken in the presence of certain pathologies.
