Prostatitis Treatment: What Else Can Be Done Besides Taking Medicine

In the field of men's health, prostatitis is a problem that cannot be ignored. Many male friends often think of taking medicine first after being diagnosed with prostatitis. But in fact, besides medications, there are various methods that can contribute to recovery. So, what else can men do for prostatitis besides taking medicine? Let's explore.

Once a man gets prostatitis, the body will send out many warning signals. Prostate pain is one of the common symptoms. That faint feeling of swelling or soreness can bother the patient from time to time, affecting daily life and work. Abnormal urination is also typical, with frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and even difficulty in urination, which torments the patient every time they go to the toilet. More seriously, prostatitis can also cause sexual dysfunction, leading to problems such as decreased libido and erectile dysfunction. This not only affects the harmony of married life but also brings a heavy psychological burden to men. In addition, patients who have been troubled by prostatitis for a long time may also experience mental abnormalities, such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia, seriously endangering men's physical and mental health. For this reason, it is urgent to actively treat prostatitis.

Currently, oral medications are one of the main means of treating prostatitis. Doctors will accurately select suitable drugs according to the different symptoms of patients. For patients with complex symptoms, a comprehensive treatment plan using multiple drugs in combination often achieves better results. For example, for symptoms of abnormal urination, drugs such as terazosin and tamsulosin hydrochloride can relax the smooth muscles of the urethra and improve the condition of difficult urination.

In the case of bacterial prostatitis, antibiotics such as cephalosporins and ofloxacin are the main force in anti - infection, which can effectively kill bacteria and control inflammation. For symptoms of pain and discomfort, analgesic drugs can relieve the patient's pain in a timely manner. In addition, the Diuretic and Anti - Inflammatory Pill has also received much attention. It has the effects of promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and regulating qi and relieving pain. It can comprehensively treat prostatitis from multiple dimensions and effectively relieve various symptoms of prostatitis.

So, besides taking medicine, what other methods can assist in the treatment of prostatitis?

The warm - water sitz bath therapy is a simple and easy - to - implement method. Patients can operate it at home without any complex medical equipment. Just pour warm water at about 40 degrees Celsius into a basin, about half a basin is enough. Then sit in the water for about 15 minutes each time, 1 - 2 times a day. The control of temperature and time is very crucial. If the temperature is too high, it may scald the skin, and if the time is too long, it may also have an adverse impact on the body. If you want to enhance the curative effect, you can also add appropriate traditional Chinese medicine to the hot water. The effective components of traditional Chinese medicine can penetrate through the skin, promote the absorption of drugs, and better exert the therapeutic effect.

Massage therapy is also a good choice. Self - massage is simple to operate and easy for patients to accept and master. After defecation, the patient first cleans the anus, and then takes a squatting position or a lateral flexion lying position and presses the prostate with the middle finger or index finger. Each massage lasts for 3 - 5 minutes, and ideally, prostatic fluid can be discharged from the urethra each time. However, it should be noted that there should be an interval of at least 3 days between each massage, and the force during massage must be gentle. During the massage process, if the prostate feels uncomfortable, such as increased pain, the massage must be stopped immediately and the doctor should be consulted for help in a timely manner.

Exercise therapy has an obvious rehabilitative effect on patients with chronic prostatitis, especially those with mental stress. Appropriate aerobic exercises, such as jogging and swimming, can promote the body's blood circulation, enhance the body's immunity, and help the subsidence of inflammation. And exercises such as Tai Chi and yoga can not only exercise the body but also regulate the body and mind, relieve mental stress, and are also of great benefit to the recovery of prostatitis. Scientific and reasonable exercise is like injecting vitality into the body, which is conducive to the recovery of chronic prostatitis.
