How to effectively treat chronic prostatitis?

Prostatitis is a common disease in men, which can be acute or chronic. People with prostatitis will have frequent urination urges and urethral pain and burning sensations during urination. Chronic prostatitis is a condition that develops slowly due to the failure to effectively cure acute prostatitis. So what is the most effective way to treat chronic prostatitis? Let's study it carefully.

The treatment goals of chronic prostatitis are mainly to relieve pain, improve urination symptoms and improve quality of life. The evaluation of treatment efficacy should be based mainly on symptom improvement.

1. General treatment Health education, psychological and behavioral counseling have a positive effect. Patients should abstain from alcohol, spicy food, avoid holding urine, sitting for long periods of time, keep warm, and strengthen physical exercise.

2. Drug treatment The most commonly used drugs are antibiotics, α-receptor blockers, herbal preparations and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics. Other drugs also have varying degrees of effectiveness in relieving symptoms.

3. Other treatments

1. Prostate massage Prostate massage is one of the traditional treatment methods. Studies have shown that proper prostate massage can promote the emptying of prostate gland ducts and increase local drug concentration, thereby relieving the symptoms of patients with chronic prostatitis. Therefore, it is recommended as an adjuvant treatment for type III prostatitis. It is contraindicated for patients with type I prostatitis.

2. Biofeedback therapy Studies have shown that patients with chronic prostatitis have dyssynergia of the pelvic floor muscles or tension of the external urethral sphincter. Biofeedback combined with electrical stimulation therapy can relax the pelvic floor muscles and make them tend to be coordinated, while relaxing the external sphincter, thereby relieving the perineal discomfort and urination symptoms of chronic prostatitis.

3. Heat therapy mainly uses the heat effect produced by various physical means to increase blood circulation in the prostate tissue, accelerate metabolism, and help reduce inflammation and eliminate tissue edema, relieve pelvic floor muscle spasms, etc. It has a certain effect of relieving symptoms in the short term, but the long-term effect is unclear. It is not recommended for unmarried and childless people.

From this we can see that there are still many options for effective treatments for chronic prostatitis, but the specific treatment plan must be selected based on the severity of the patient's condition. This requires male friends to face the disease seriously. When similar symptoms are found, they must undergo a male urology examination and then cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan for treatment.
