The extent and duration of prostatitis treatment depends on the form of the disease, its severity and course. For example, the treatment of acute prostatitis should primarily be aimed at relieving the general condition of the patient. That is, first of all it is necessary to anesthetize and stabilize the patient. This form of prostatitis requires hospitalization and emergency patient care. And the treatment of chronic prostatitis is more aimed at prolonging remission (a period of significant weakening of the symptoms of the disease). Patients with this form of the disease can be treated for prostatitis at home and treated in medical institutions only during the exacerbation. With an exacerbation of the disease, the patient must definitely undergo prostatitis treatment with a massage, which significantly alleviates his condition and improves the functioning of the gland.
Which therapy to choose - traditional or folk?
Now many are wondering:Which is better to choose - phytotherapy or therapy with drugs?There are no clear answers to this question, because both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
- Therapy with conventional means has the advantage that it is used in a targeted manner. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroying it, thereby stopping the inflammatory process. Treatment of prostatitis at home with the help of such means is very convenient if the process is not severe and does not require constant medical supervision. However, such therapy has its drawbacks, since many drugs have pronounced side effects, as well as a toxic effect on the body.
- Folk remedies in the treatment of prostatitis can also be widely used. Because many herbal remedies have pronounced anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and analgesic effects. In addition, they are often well tolerated by patients without causing allergic reactions and other side effects. They can be used much longer as drug therapy and still get no toxic effects. However, their disadvantage is that they are excipients. Running prostatitis in men cannot be cured with folk remedies, since they do not act on a specific pathogen.
Important!Often, as practice shows, the most effective treatment regimen is the one that includes both drug and alternative therapies. All elements in this scheme complement each other and lead to more effective treatment of prostatitis.
