Prostatitis is commonly referred to as inflammation, which causes swelling of the tissues and involves the male prostate gland, which is located below the bladder. Prostatitis is treated today with many modern methods, including antibiotic therapy, physiotherapy, hirudotherapy, herbal medicine, immunosuppressive therapy, prostate massage, lifestyle correction.
When a patient is admitted to a medical facility, the doctor examines the patient for the causes of prostatitis. Treatment of the disease will be prescribed exactly according to what factors contributed to the emergence of the disease.
Treatment of prostatitis begins with a diagnosis of the disease, which primarily involves an interview with a urologist. The doctor then continues to examine the patient’s abdomen and genitals, palpates the prostate gland, and inserts it into the rectum. During this examination the doctor can determine the enlargement, swelling and tenderness of the prostate gland.
After examining the rectum, the urologist instructs the patient to give sperm, urine, and prostate secretions. These tests allow you to assess the presence or absence of signs of infection. Sometimes a sperm culture is needed.Scheduling urodynamic studies will allow the doctor to realize how severe the disease is affecting the urinary process.
Ultrasound and ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder allow the urologist to determine the volume and structure of the prostate gland, the volume of residual urine, the presence of a tumor or stones in the bladder, and the presence of a thrombus or stones in the lower third of the urine.
Based on the above analyzes and examinations, the urologist prescribes therapy for such an insidious and difficult-to-cure disease as prostatitis. Treatment of prostatitis will give a positive result only if it is difficult and it is chosen by a competent doctor.
Antibacterial treatment of prostatitis
Because prostatitis is often infectious, doctors prescribe antibacterial therapy to treat prostatitis. The result of the treatment will be positive only if the urologist chooses the right therapy and the patient strictly adheres to the prescribed therapy. We must remember that the starting course of antibiotic therapy can not be stopped - this can harm not only the diseased organ, but also the whole body.
The patient should inform the doctor of any, sometimes not even significant, changes in the body. If within 2-3 days of treatment the patient has had absolutely no change, the doctor should replace the antibiotic with another but not cancel it.
The most commonly prescribed medications for treatment are a wide range of drugs - penicillins.
Fluoroquinolone agents are also widely used in modern medicine. Microbes do not develop resistance to these drugs - this is one of the most important properties of this group of antibiotics.In addition, many physicians prescribe tetracycline medications.
Sometimes a new generation of such highly effective drugs are used. They should be used only after consultation with your doctor.
Antibacterial treatment of prostatitis in patients with chronic prostatitis lasts for a month and a half. In advanced cases, treatment for prostatitis lasts up to 16 weeks. Sometimes, during antibiotic therapy, the patient develops intestinal dysbiosis. In this regard, the patient is prescribed drugs that restore the intestinal microflora.
Dosage and dosing regimen are prescribed by the urologist in each case individually.
Physiotherapeutic activities
Treatment of prostatitis through physical therapy includes the use of various methods, the main of which are ultrasound, laser therapy, electrical stimulation, magnetotherapy, microwave therapy, UHF, galvanization, therapeutic electrophoresis, darsonvalization, therapeutic microclysters, therapeutic microclysters.Ultrasound is used as high frequency waves that a person cannot hear.
Laser therapy is a fairly common, almost painless method. This is the effect of laser beams on diseased body tissues or reflexogenic zones.
Treatment of prostatitis with electrical stimulation is the flow of an electrical impulse that causes the muscles of the body to contract. Electrical stimulation is divided into rectal, perinatal and urethral.
Magnetotherapy is the treatment of prostatitis in the tissues of the affected organ by exposure to a constant magnetic and low frequency alternating field.
Microwave therapy is the effect of high frequency electromagnetic field on the affected tissues.
UHF is a set of therapeutic measures using tissue-related condenser plates.
Galvanization is a method of treatment with continuous power supply and low voltage low power supply.
Therapeutic electrophoresis is the simultaneous action of low-density direct current on tissues and through it special drugs implanted in tissues. The current increases ionic activity in tissues, while the pharmacological effect of the drug occurs.
Darsonvalization is a method of treatment with high-frequency, low-energy pulse currents at high voltage.
Medical microclysters - enemas, for which various herbal infusions and decorations are used.
Baths used to treat the disease are prescribed for general or local sitting. Different healing fluids of different temperatures are used during baths.
Mud procedures - use of healing mud. Treatment may include the use of external mud or the insertion of mud tampons into the anus.

Some of these drugs must be taken internally, while some are used externally, inserted into the urethra. Herbal medicine is an additional treatment that helps the body to cope with the disease faster.
Bark, seeds, roots, buds and rhizomes of plants are commonly used to make decorations, infusions - flowers, leaves, grass and stems. There are huge recipes for preparing medicines.
One of the most popular recipes is an infusion of birch buds and oats mixed with a rose infusion (1: 1) taken in half a cup 1 or 2 times a day.
Horse chestnut bark tincture (pour 250 ml of 25 g of finely chopped peel, insist in the dark for 10 days, stirring occasionally). After that, apply the tincture, take 30 drops 3 times a day.

The use of Apala in patients with chronic prostatitis who have undergone comprehensive treatment increases the effectiveness of therapy and helps to maintain the results obtained. The drug is well tolerated and has no contraindications. It can be combined with any other therapy. Apala is indicated for patients with chronic prostatitis of categories II and III A from the first day of treatment.Prostate massage
Treating prostatitis with prostate massage is an unpleasant but very effective way to cure the disease. The massage is performed by an experienced doctor. First, with the help of a gloved index finger, he senses the prostate gland, trying to fix its parameters, the degree of pain, the ratio of the right and left portions of the gland, and also examining the degree of rectal mucus. After that, the doctor directly starts the massage procedure himself.
Lifestyle Correction
To prevent blood stagnation in the prostate gland, the patient should move a lot, walk, play sports and so on. Sh.
The onset of prostatitis is most often caused by a sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work and infrequent sexual intercourse. They cause blood stasis in the prostate gland. In this situation, for therapeutic purposes, the patient is prescribed physical activity (possible), therapeutic exercises, walking in the fresh air, special diet, etc. Sh.
Thus, complex treatment of patients with chronic prostatitis should include:
- Antibiotic therapy (only in patients with chronic prostatitis of an infectious nature, including latent);
- symptomatic treatment to eliminate the leading manifestations of the disease;
- Pathogenetic therapy aims to restore the microcirculation of the prostate, restore prostate drainage along the excretory ducts, normalize the urine, stabilize the immune and hormonal systems, prevent the formation of excess fibrous tissue.
There are many signs that a patient has prostatitis "settled" in his body. Treatment of this disease is very difficult and lengthy, giving a positive result only if the patient strictly adheres to all the prescriptions of the urologist.
