Prostatic inflammation is characterized by a chronic or acute course. Such pathologies generally occur against the background of low gas congestion, microtraumatic injuries, infections, or penetration of pathogens into the urethra. It is perfectly acceptable to treat chronic prostatitis at home, but only under the supervision of specialists.
Therapy for chronic prostatitis can last for several months, during which time patients are advised to take prescribed medications, undergo physical therapy procedures and massage.
Characteristics of chronic prostatitis
Prostatic inflammation of the chronic form occurs quite frequently in men aged 25 to 50 years. This form of pathology is characterized by periodic exacerbations and periods of remission, constantly replacing each other.
- Sometimes inflammation is infectious in origin and develops as a result of damage from bacterial pathogens. The vital activity of these bacteria negatively affects prostate tissues, destroying them.
- There is also non-infectious prostatitis, which is caused by low basal congestion and other factors. One of the non-infectious prostatic forms is congestive prostatitis, which occurs in a context of congestion.
- Chronic prostatic inflammation is accompanied by quite unpleasant symptomatic manifestations such as frequent and painful urination, weakening of erectile function, lack of orgasm, or pain in the abdomen and perineum.
- But it happens that the pathology develops in secret, but already manifests itself at the stage of exacerbation after the chronicity of the inflammatory process.
It is completely impossible to cure chronic prostatitis, but it is quite possible to keep the pathology under control so that it remains in remission for a long time. If an exacerbation has occurred, then it is necessary to use drug therapy and home methods.
How to get rid of pain during an attack
Prostate inflammation is treated by a specialist in urological practice, who prescribes the necessary medications and physiotherapy procedures. But sometimes it is necessary to relieve an acute attack of pain in prostatitis with home methods. To do this, you can use pills, suppositories, or microclysters.
