Treatment of prostatitis with physiotherapy: basic methods of exposure

Prostatitis is a complex, complex disease that affects men of all ages. At later stages, fatal complications, capable of putting a cross on health in general, are possible. That's why it's so important to get treatment from this insidious illness in a timely manner. The classical method of therapy involves the use of medications. However, this is not the only way to help the patient. Methods of physiotherapy are widely used in the treatment. Is it really that effective, and what results can be expected?

Briefly about the benefits of physiotherapy with prostatitis

• With a prostatic lesion, venous-lymphatic drainage from the lesion site is disrupted. Often formed a stagnation of blood and lymph in the pelvic area. This factor can cause a secondary varicocele, a decrease in potency. Physiotherapy normalizes blood circulation and outflow of biological fluids.
• Normalization of the local circulation. As is known, prostatitis only in 10% of cases has an infectious-inflammatory nature. Where more often it is necessary to speak about a dystrophic and degenerative lesion of a glandular organ because of insufficiency of blood circulation. Physiotherapy normalizes blood supply, nourishing and oxygenating the prostate gland.
• It relieves pain syndrome, relieves inflammation and normalizes local metabolic processes.
• Physiotherapy removes edema of the prostate, eliminating other uncomfortable manifestations of the disease.
• The work of the entire male sexual sphere is normalized, as the general improvement of the prostate gland occurs.
• The process of urination is eased, because methods of physiotherapy remove the pathological tension of the muscles of the pelvic region, including the bladder and urethral canal.
• The muscles of the pelvic area are strengthened, their contractile function is normalized, because the man becomes capable of normal sexual intercourse.
• Mucous membranes are regenerated, their scarring( including the vas deferens) is prevented, due to which the reproductive function comes to normal.

Basic methods of physiotherapy

Magnetotherapy

The basis of magnetotherapy is the effect of intense intense magnetic field on the prostate gland and surrounding anatomical structures. The greatest effect is produced on nerve tissues, because this technique is ideal for normalizing nerve conduction( especially the conductivity of cavernous nerves that promote normal erection and ejaculation).The magnet reduces pain, relieves the pathological spasm and promotes the onset of regenerative processes. In addition, this technique is used as an auxiliary technique to increase the efficacy of drugs.

Warmings have a positive effect, but not all are suitable - consult with a doctor

Warm water heating

Practiced in the format of baths with warm or hot water. The essence of the therapeutic action is the effect of high and moderate temperatures on the prostate structures. There is a natural expansion of blood vessels, normalization of the blood circulation of the prostate gland. The pathological tension of the muscles comes to naught, the painful syndrome occurs. However, the technique is absolutely not suitable for acute disease, especially when it comes to the infectious form of prostatitis.

Ultrasound effect

The basis of the effect is the penetration of high frequency waves into the structures of the prostate gland and surrounding tissues. Promotes the removal of inflammation, normalizes contractility of the prostate and its ducts, helps normal production of prostate juice. Additionally, ultrasound stops scarring of mucous membranes. It is the scarring of the vas deferens often causes secondary infertility, so the patient can expect to increase fertility. However, the technique is not suitable in the presence of hemorrhoids in acute form( relative contraindication).This must be borne in mind.

Laser treatment

Laser( infrared) radiation has the ability to penetrate through the skin. In some cases, the radiator is inserted into the rectum for better access to the prostate gland. Treatment promotes the beginning of regenerative processes, normalizes the processes of cellular metabolism at the local level, helps to remove puffiness and pain syndrome, increases the effectiveness of specialized drugs for the treatment of prostatitis.

Electrophoresis

The action of electrophoresis is based on the penetration of drugs through currents in tissues and organs( in particular, the prostate gland).By itself, electrophoresis does not have a therapeutic effect, it is an instrument, a therapeutic technique. It all depends on the drugs administered by this method. As a rule, electrophoresis helps to relieve inflammation, normalizes cellular metabolism and promotes tissue regeneration.

Is it possible to recover only physiotherapy without antibiotics?

The question is complex. In most cases, antibiotic therapy is necessary. With infectious prostatitis, physiotherapy alone does not have the effect: destruction of pathogens is necessary. At the same time, taking antibiotics is also necessary in other forms of prostatitis, in order to prevent secondary infection. Thus, the answer to the question is this: taking antibiotics is required in any case. Physiotherapy can only be an excellent aid in the treatment, but not the main technique.

Can I be treated at home?

Physiotherapy involves the use of special hardware, because most of them can not be treated at home. At home, you can practice only warming up in a warm bath( 40 degrees, 15 minutes per procedure).In this case, as already noted, treatment in the period of acute prostatitis and infectious form of the disease is unacceptable.
