Symptoms of acute prostatitis are an increase in body temperature and frequent urination, which is accompanied by pain and weak pressure. In addition, indicators of prostatitis are burning in the perineum and pain in the rectum during defecation.

- Anamnestic data collection. It is the main method of gathering information, the nature of patient complaints are investigated.
- Palpation of the rectal touch. The patient is examined in the knee-elbow position, then the doctor inserts the index finger into the anus and gently touches the prostate gland. This method allows you to determine the intensity of pain and the degree of organ enlargement.
- Perform an ultrasound examination. It is carried out in two ways. Whether it is done through the abdominal wall, or by inserting the device into the anatomical cavity of the rectum. For the study, it was necessary to adhere to a nutritional diet and carry out a complete bowel movement. This method allows you to get clear information about the nature of the disease.
- Study of general analysis of urine. It is performed to study the nature of inflammation and analyze the bacterial flora.
- Testosterone level analysis. It is an additional diagnostic method and allows you to determine the functional characteristics of spermatozoa.
- Study of the somatic state of the patient.
Medical therapy
Comprehensive set of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis: hormonal, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulatory drugs and powerful antibiotics. All of them can interact with each other and conform to the methods of the people.
Antibiotics
To quickly get rid of the bacteria that cause the disease, specialists prescribe antibiotics to patients. This type of preparation can be produced in the form of tablets, capsules, rectal suppositories.
For the treatment to give good results, you need to take the drug for at least 2-3 weeks.
Anti-inflammatory
If such therapy is not effective, or the disease does not arise as a result of bacterial development, the doctor prescribes anti-inflammatory drugs.
This type of medication relieves inflammation, reduces swelling. Patients feel better because of the analgesic effect. You need to take the drug in a short course, as it negatively affects the functioning of the digestive system.
Alpha blocker
During the treatment period, a rapid improvement in the condition can be achieved with the help of alpha blockers. Medications help improve urinary and sexual function. The drug acts directly on the nervous system, which is responsible for the work of the muscles of the urethra and bladder. As a result, cramps are reduced, pain during urination disappears, inflammation is reduced.
Rectal suppositories
To carry out the treatment as safely as possible, without affecting the kidneys and liver, you can use rectal suppositories. Usually they include painkillers, medicinal herbs, bee products, antibiotics.
Candles help relieve inflammation, reduce swelling and pain. Restores blood circulation, urinary function. Usually the course of treatment is 10 days.
Immunomodulator
Immunomodulators are needed to support the body during treatment, improve the function of the immune system and the general condition of the patient. With the help of hormone medications, inflammation can be eliminated and sexual function restored. They are usually prescribed if the patient has low male hormone levels.
People's method
Effective treatment of prostatitis with folk remedies includes the use of various fees and herbs. In some cases, experts independently recommend combining alternative treatments with traditional treatments to speed up the onset of effects.
Popular recipes include:
- Celandine with honey. It is recommended to use it after completion of complex treatment. It is important to know that celandine is strictly forbidden to use in the presence of acute inflammation, treatment can be used only after it subsides. Next, celandine must be boiled in a ratio of 1: 7, and left to burn for 15 minutes. After the solution has cooled, it must be filtered through gauze and add 500 g of natural honey. For the desired effect, the contents must be placed in the refrigerator, and then use at least 3 tablespoons a day (it is better to break it down into 3 doses).
- Hazel or its bark. They have a similar effect on the body, and therefore they can be brewed alternately. It is important to remember that bark needs to be cooked 2 times longer due to its natural rigidity. One tablespoon of hazel is dissolved in a glass of boiling water, left for half an hour, after which the solution can be taken in a quarter cup several times a day. Each time before the procedure, it is necessary to brew fresh branches. As a rule, only a few procedures are enough for prostatitis to disappear completely.
- Complex treatment of prostatitis at home in men also includes aspen. In addition to hazel bark, you can also use the bark of this tree. The disadvantage of this method is that only fresh aspen bark, harvested in the second half of April, will do. The thickness of the bark should also not exceed 5 mm. Bark must be dried, then crushed and pour 200 g of vodka. In order for the solution to permeate, it must be sent to a dark place for 2 weeks. Then the tincture should be drunk, diluted with another liquid, at least 3 times a day. The dose indicated should be adequate for at least 2 months of treatment.
- In the treatment of prostatitis, the most effective folk remedy is wormwood. This plant is well known for being recommended for use in any inflammatory disease of the genitourinary system, and prostatitis is no exception. Due to its nature, when passing through the gastrointestinal tract, wormwood cleanses the body of infectious agents. For treatment, it is enough to have only 100 g of hay, which should be crushed with your hands and then through a colander. Therefore, 2 types of wormwood should be obtained - the last sieve can be eaten dried inside, and the one that remains outside can be used in a solution for douching. The method of taking wormwood changed throughout the treatment. The first few days every 2 hours you need to take a pinch of dried wormwood, you can not rest even at night. Further, 4 days, no longer need to take the plants at night, but during the day-at least 5-6 times. You should also do a microclyster every evening. To do this, take 1 tablespoon of wormwood and dilute it with one liter of boiling water. Once the solution has cooled to 40 degrees, it should be filtered and poured into the anus. The same solution must be used for douching - for this, the temperature should be approximately equal to body temperature. The edges of the meat should be pulled back and the solution injected so that it passes further along the channel. With proper use, after a few days, pus will start to come out of the ducts.
This herb is considered the most commonly used in the treatment of prostatitis and has proven results. Before using folk remedies for the effective treatment of prostatitis, it is recommended to make sure that there are no allergic reactions and stop taking them if side effects are detected.
Squatting
Weakness and atrophy of the perineum muscles in men lead to deterioration of blood supply and venous outflow in the prostate gland. That is why physical exercises like squats have a very good effect on the male genitourinary system. Regularly doing squats, you can keep the perineum muscles in good shape, which in turn will ensure good erectile function and prostate health.
Consider the most effective types of squats as a method of treating prostatitis:
- Classic squat. It should stand upright, legs open shoulder -width apart. Squats are performed by bending the legs at the knees, without lifting the heels off the floor, back straight, it is desirable to squat below pelvic level.
- Squatting on an imaginary "invisible" chair.
- Squat on one leg, while the other leg is extended forward. I must say that this exercise is suitable for physically prepared men.
- Squat with the addition of weights i. e. barbells. It is better to do such squats with a small weight, and only after consulting a urologist. You should start the ingot complex with a small number of repetitions (up to 10 times) and gradually increase the number, ideally you should bring the ingot to 100 repetitions.
Prevention
Prevention of prostatitis, which occurs in the prostate gland as a result of inflammatory processes, can be divided into two types, namely:
- prevention of major disease progression;
- prevention of re -inflammation after treatment of diagnosed prostatitis.
Preventive measures in both cases are similar and should be taken into account by men at risk (age after 30 years, inactive lifestyle, work associated with vibration in the pelvic area, erratic or irregular sexual life, hypothermia).
Proposal
So, among the conditions for the prevention and prevention of prostatitis, you need to consider the following:
- Physical activity. At the same time, emphasis should be given to outdoor sports, swimming, fitness, and in case of recurrent illness, avoid excessive physical exercise (strength sports) and cycling.
- Normalization and control of nutrition, i. e. , excessively fatty, smoked, fried, pickled and salty foods should be limited. Emphasis in nutrition should be on foods that normalize intestinal function (to prevent hemorrhoids), drink plenty of water and minimize alcohol consumption.
- Normalization of sexual life (frequent partner changes can lead to various infections in the genital area and, consequently, the occurrence of inflammatory processes in the prostate).
In addition, regular sexual intercourse with a regular partner (2-3 times a week) will help prevent congestion and ensure good blood circulation in the prostate.
