In the early stage, chronic prostatitis relapses through painful urination, discharge, and episodic sexual dysfunction. All of these symptoms are stopped with a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the pain may temporarily disappear with simple pain relievers.
Periods of temporary improvement after acute bouts of inflammation of the prostate can result from mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later you will have to think about how to ensure a full life and, once cured, forget about prostatitis forever.
See a doctor as soon as possible
Unpleasant physical symptoms, indicative of a painful prostate condition, are often accompanied by depression and fears that cause men to endlessly postpone doctor visits. Many admit the problem only at the stage when the disease begins in a serious way: pain becomes unbearable, urination becomes torture or cannot be controlled, sexual impotence and is a long-established fact. In this stage, prostatitis is cured in very rare cases.
This perspective makes us think about the prevention and timely treatment of prostatitis in the first signs, even weak and that pass quickly. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis, and pain in the groin are the first calls you should respond to. It was at this time that there is still a wide range of methods for the prevention of prostatitis treatment. There are also cases and techniques that stop excessive tissue growth and even reduce the size of prostate adenomas. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured both with radical surgery and with medications and physical therapy.
Clinicians differ in their assessment of the results of non-surgical treatment of chronic prostatitis and adenoma. Some consider the absence of inflammation and the normal size of the prostate - a complete victory over the disease, others argue that this is just a successful stage in the fight against relapses of chronic prostatitis, which does not go away anywhere.
Theoretical calculations are of much less interest to patients than the question of whether perineal pain, sexual dysfunction, and free urine can be safely avoided at any age. After all, the main thing is the quality of life, and whether a person has recovered from prostatitis or has just overcome its exacerbation is a secondary question.
In the case of chronic prostatitis and especially during exacerbations of the disease, you can completely trust your doctor or try prostatitis treatment at home.
But with any approach, you need to undergo a diagnosis in a medical institution to establish the causes and stages of the disease. Repeated studies will show how much this or that treatment helped, if there are complications, the symptoms of which can be erased with temporary exposure to drugs.
Pain in the perineum, frequent trips to the bathroom are just symptoms, and getting rid of them can only dampen the chronic process that leads to sexual dysfunction, the urination disorder. In addition to age factors, hypothermia, physical overload and stress, as well as serious infections and viruses can be the cause of prostatitis.
Self-medication for prostate problems
To achieve the desired effect of parsley decoctions, honey mixtures or garlic infusions, months of regular use are required, with careful observance of the manufacturing technology of these traditional medicine products and quality requirementsof the ingredients.
With any method of treatment and regardless of the causes of the disease, it will be necessary to change or adjust the diet. You will need to exclude synthesized foods (chips, sodas, many types of sweets and cookies) and animal fats, minimize fried and pickled dishes, as well as the use of alcohol, sugar, salt and hot spices: pepper, mustard, horseradish. A diet based on natural products with a predominance of fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy products, fish and shellfish should not be a temporary restriction, but a new eating behavior that will contribute to the renewal and recovery of the entire organism.
In medicine, there are many cases where people were cured of serious chronic diseases only by giving up bad habits and constant hardening of the body.
