At the initial stage, chronic prostatitis relapses through pain during urination, discharge, episodic sexual dysfunction. All these symptoms are relieved by a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and pain can temporarily disappear from simple analgesics.
Periods of temporary improvement after acute bouts of prostate inflammation can result from the mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later you will have to think about how to ensure yourself a full life and, having cured, forget about prostatitis forever.
See a doctor as soon as possible
Unpleasant physical symptoms, indicative of a painful condition of the prostate, are often accompanied by depression and fears that cause men to endlessly postpone visits to the doctor. Many admit the problem only at the stage when the disease is seriously neglected: pain becomes unbearable, urination turns into torture or cannot be controlled, sexual and impotence is a long-established fact. At this stage, prostatitis is cured in very rare cases.
Such a perspective makes us think about the prevention and timely treatment of prostatitis at the very first, even weak and quickly passing signs. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis and pain in the groin are the first calls to which you need to respond. 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 tissue overgrowth and even reduce the size of the prostate adenoma. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured with both radical surgery and medication and physiotherapy.
Doctors 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 only a successful stage in the fight against relapses of chronic prostatitis, which does not disappear anywhere.
Theoretical calculations are of much less interest to patients than the question of whether it is possible to avoid pain in the perineum, sexual dysfunction and free urine without problems 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 the treatment of prostatitis at home.
But with any approach, you need to undergo a diagnosis at a medical institution in order to establish the causes and stages of the disease. Repeated studies will show how much this or that treatment helped, whether there are complications, the symptoms of which can be erased by temporary exposure to drugs.
Pain in the perineum, frequent trips to the toilet are just symptoms, getting rid of which can only muffle the chronic process leading to sexual dysfunction, 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
In order to achieve the desired effect from decoctions of parsley, honey mixtures, or garlic infusions, months of regular use are required, with careful observance of the technology of manufacturing these products of traditional medicine and quality requirements for 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 have to exclude synthesized food (chips, soft drinks, 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 seafood should not be a temporary restriction, but a new eating behavior that will contribute to the renewal and healing of the whole body.
In medicine, there are many cases when people were cured of serious chronic diseases only by giving up bad habits and consistent hardening of the body.
