Help for acute prostatitis
The prostate gland can become inflamed very sharply and quickly, so it is customary to talk about the acute course of the disease. It is difficult for men to endure characteristic pain attacks, so you need to know what to do in this situation.
The best advice is to call an ambulance to take the patient to hospital. If this is not done, complications such as:
- blockage of veins;
- stagnation of urine and rupture of the bladder;
- development of abscesses.
Only specialists can prescribe adequate and correct treatment aimed at relieving an acute attack. Before the arrival of doctors, it is recommended to take an antispasmodic or painkiller.
Treatment of the chronic form
Prostatitis that has a chronic course will have to be treated for quite a long time. This comprehensive therapy will include:
- take drugs that can treat the prostate and prevent relapses of the disease;
- Playing sports;
- undergoing physical therapy;
- diet;
- regular sex;
- exclusion of promiscuity.
In many cases, such therapy gives good results and patients can do without prostate surgery. This method of treatment is used as a last resort, when conservative therapy is not effective and prostatitis is considered incurable.
Duration of therapy
Effective treatment of all forms of prostatitis depends on the timely diagnosis of the pathology, the qualifications of the attending physician and the therapy prescribed by him. But the most important condition is whether the patient himself will help himself?
The speed of recovery depends only on the patient; its main tasks are:
- drink and inject all prescribed medications correctly;
- avoid hypothermia and overheating, penetration of infection;
- follow a diet;
- live an active lifestyle;
- reject bad habits.
Therefore the treatment of the acute form will take from 10 to 14 days, that of the chronic form from a month to a year. A young body copes with pathology more easily. After treatment it is necessary to check the state of health of the prostate gland by undergoing regular preventive tests.
Are exotic techniques useful?
How else can you get rid of prostatitis? The techniques are so different that you can find the most surprising methods.
Ants
- These insects are able to defeat prostate inflammation thanks to the carboxylic acid released after the bite.
- This substance increases tissue trophism and activates blood circulation in the prostate.
- Common black ants, which are widespread in our region, are suitable for therapy. The disease can be treated in this way only during the period of remission and in the absence of carboxylic acid allergy.
Hunger
Therapeutic fasting helps activate metabolic processes and this leads to: a reduction in subcutaneous fat; weight loss, removal of excess fluids and toxins.
In this way, a general healing effect is achieved, but in the fight against prostatitis such methods are not enough.
According to doctors, patients with inflammation of the prostate must follow the principle of proper nutrition. It is better to eliminate harmful foods from your diet than to give up food completely, even for a few days.
According to Neumyvakin
- Dr. Ivan Pavlovich Neumyvakin offers treatment of prostatitis with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide.
- These inexpensive remedies, available to Russian patients, can be easily purchased in a pharmacy or supermarket; the alarming fact is that they must be taken orally, most of the time on an empty stomach.
According to doctors, the claimed therapeutic effect is rarely observed, and the harmful effect on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract is frequent. Therefore, before resorting to exotic methods, consult a urologist or find real reviews of patients who have followed them.
Acupuncture
- The impact on the body's acupuncture points activates the synthesis of special substances that activate a mechanism to combat inflammatory processes. According to representatives of oriental medicine, acupuncture will cure a disease and eliminate its cause.
- Doctors believe that reflexology as the basis of treatment is not able to cope with pathology, but as part of a complex treatment it can activate the body's hidden reserves and speed up recovery.
Hirudotherapy
- Treatment with leeches is important because. . . It is based on the renewal of blood.
- According to medical data, a third of the volume of biological fluid in the body is reserve - subcutaneous capillaries and is not used in the general blood flow.
- The bite of a leech helps to remove this reserve fluid, and the reduction of its volume activates the renewal processes. The result is a better blood supply to all parts of the body.
Hirudotherapy is one of the effective methods of alternative treatment, but leeches must be administered by a specialist. This will allow you to achieve a therapeutic result and will not lead to complications.
