In the initial stage, chronic prostatitis relapses through pain during urination, discharge and episodic sexual dysfunction. All of these symptoms are relieved by a course of broad-spectrum antibiotics, and the pain can temporarily disappear from simple analgesics.
Periods of temporary improvement after acute bouts of inflammation of the prostate can result from the mobilization of the body's defenses.
But sooner or later you will have to think about how to ensure a full life and, after being 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, which cause men to put off visits to the doctor indefinitely. Many admit the problem only at the stage when the disease is severely neglected: the pain becomes unbearable, urination turns into torture or cannot be controlled, sex and impotence are well established. At this stage, prostatitis is treated in very rare cases.
This perspective makes us think about the prevention and timely treatment of prostatitis at the first signs, even weak and which pass quickly. Discomfort when urinating, discharge from the penis, and pain in the groin are the first calls you need to answer. It was at this time that there is still a wide range of methods for the prevention of the treatment of prostatitis. There are also cases and techniques that stop tissue overgrowth and even reduce the size of prostate adenomas. Today, adenoma and prostatitis can be cured both with radical surgery and with drugs and physiotherapy.
Doctors differ in evaluating 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 interest patients much less than the question of whether it is possible to avoid pain in the perineum, sexual dysfunction and free urine at any age without problems. 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 case of chronic prostatitis and especially during exacerbations of the disease, you can fully trust your doctor or try prostatitis treatment at home.
But with any approach, it is necessary to undergo a diagnosis at 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 canceled by temporary exposure to the drugs.
Pain in the perineum, frequent trips to the toilet are just symptoms, eliminating them can only cushion the chronic process leading to sexual dysfunction, urination disorder. In addition to age factors, hypothermia, physical overload and stress, as well as severe infections and viruses can be the cause of prostatitis.
Self-medication for prostate problems
To obtain the desired effect from parsley decoctions, honey mixtures or garlic infusions, months of regular use are required, with careful observance of the production technology of these traditional medicines and quality requirements for 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 have to exclude synthesized foods (chips, soft drinks, many types of sweets and biscuits) 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 where people were cured of severe chronic diseases just by giving up bad habits and constant hardening of the body.
