Treatment of Prostatitis

#1 Post by Stoyanov » 30 Apr 2018, 15:26

Treatment of sexual disorders is a very profitable industry today. Every single moment, the TV, radio, newspapers and magazines rain down the advertisements like “Drink our pills and you'll forget about your illness”; however you cannot solve the problem with ordinary tablets, but only take off the symptoms for a while. Urologists make money off those suffering prostatitis and prostate adenoma. Meanwhile, the prostatitis is just a consequence, not a cause. To identify and eliminate the causes in each individual patient is much more difficult than merely apply well-designed schemes for suppressing symptoms. Urologists know this well and do not bother with professional research. Therefore, finding the right path to recovery is a task that most often has to be addressed by the patient independently.

Chronic prostatitis is inevitably preceded by an acute phase, meanwhile, by the prostatitis its chronic form is usually meant, which is difficult to treat. Unfortunately, during a short period of acute prostatitis, patients usually neglect the disease and lose valuable time. Over time, symptoms of the primary acute phase diminish. Chronic prostatitis is characterized by less severe symptoms in terms of painful sensations, although it poses danger by constant and systematic damaging tissues of the prostate gland.

The primary method of therapy for chronic prostatitis is a long-term (4 weeks and more) intake of antibacterial drugs, as well as alpha-blockers.

Antibiotic therapy is mainly carried out with fluoroquinolone formulations (since fluoroquinolones have activity against gonococci and chlamydia, it is they that are prescribed to persons younger than 35 years old more likely to have co-infections), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. If oral ingestion does not work, injections of gentamicin, doxycycline, carbenpenicillin (including directly into the prostate) may be prescribed.
When there is a noticeable improvement during treatment with antibacterial agents, while withdrawal leads to quick relapse, a so-called suppressive therapy is recommended, i.e. the daily continuous intake of low doses of antibiotics.

Alpha-blockers (terazosin, doxazosin, etc.) reduce the tonus of smooth muscles of the bladder and prostate, which facilitates manifestation of the disease. Use of such drugs combined with antibiotics will reliably reduce the risk of recurrence of chronic bacterial prostatitis.

The most important factors that expedite recovery are:
• optimization of the work-rest schedule;
• abstention from alcohol;
• smoking cessation.
In medicine, treat prostate diseases, the method of local hyperthermia (local warming up of the prostate tissue up to 39-43 degrees) has been used over 20 years. The method can be performed both with transrectal and transurethral access (the latter is less safe, but is used more often, due to greater efficiency). Up to 87% of patients with abacterial chronic prostatitis reported improvement after the therapy. It is assumed that exposure to heat contributes to the outflow of stagnant contents of the prostate, improving lymph and blood circulation in tissues.

In a number of cases, for chronic disease, prostate massage is prescribed (although in these later days, this technique has been used primarily with a diagnostic purpose to obtain a prostatic secretion). Massage is performed after urination and washing of the urethra if running secretions are present. The procedure is performed rectally, 2 to 3 times a week, for one minute. Special studies on the effectiveness of massage have not been conducted; therefore, some of the available data are contradictory. It is believed that the massage will improve blood supply of tissues, facilitate penetration of antibacterial drugs, activate local defense mechanisms, and promote release of ducts from dead cells and purulence. The method is contraindicated for the acute form of prostatitis, it is not recommended in the presence of adenomas or calcifications of the prostate.

With frequent recurrences of chronic prostatitis due to anatomical disorders, a surgical intervention (including transurethral resection of the prostate in the presence of prostatic calculi) can be performed.

Effectiveness of traditional medicine has not been scientifically proven, but some patients note a relief from chamomile infusion, tea with honey, non-fried pumpkin seeds, and the like.

The effectiveness of chronic prostatitis therapy directly depends on the main causative factors of the disease and compliance with medical recommendations.

Prostatitis may cause the development of urosepsis in patients with diabetes mellitus, chronic renal failure, and dialysis patients, with weakened immunity, or in postoperative patients who underwent urethral interventions.

Preventive Treatment
Measures for prevention of relapses of chronic prostatitis include the following:
• optimization of the work-rest schedule;
• nutritious diet;
• active lifestyle;
• avoiding hyperthermia and excessive heat loss;
• abstention from alcohol and tobacco;
• timely detection and removal of the sites of chronic infection;
• prevention of sexually transmitted diseases;
• therapeutic suppressive antibacterial therapy.
