Physical therapy for chronic prostatitis

Many cases of prostatitis cannot be detected when they first occur, so many patients do not get better treatment. In this case, it will become a chronic disease, so the treatment will become more difficult, and the course of treatment will become longer. There is no way to cure it. So let us learn about how physical therapy should be used to treat chronic prostatitis!

General treatment

(1) Rest in bed, soften stool, de-alkalize urine, apply hot compress to perineum, hot water sitz bath, electric heating therapy, anti-spasm, analgesia, and antipyretic treatment.

(2) Avoid urethral instrument examination. Patients with acute urinary retention should undergo suprapubic bladder puncture or cystostomy. Catheterization is generally not recommended because patients often cannot tolerate catheterization and it is prone to complications.

Application of Antimicrobial Drugs

According to clinical investigation, the main cause of bacterial prostatitis is bacterial infection, and most of the pathogens are Escherichia coli. The rational and effective use of antibacterial drugs is naturally the key to treatment.

Under normal circumstances, antibiotics diffuse poorly into the prostate, but in acute inflammation, the diffuse inflammatory response accelerates the transport of antibiotics into the prostate. At this time, the use of fast-acting and effective antibiotics can quickly control the inflammation, but the medication should be continued for a period of time after the body temperature returns to normal and the symptoms disappear to prevent the disease from prolonging its course and turning into a chronic and recurring disease.

Antibacterial drugs that are effective against this type of bacteria are usually selected: such as gentamicin, kanamycin, cephalosporin, and clotrimazole. If conditions permit, the patient's urine (interrupted urine) or prostatic fluid can be used for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity tests, and then sensitive antibacterial drugs can be selected for better results. If the body temperature is high and there are more white blood cells in the blood, the drug should be given intravenously first. After the body temperature returns to normal, switch to intramuscular injection for 1 week, and then switch to oral medication after 1 week of intramuscular injection, which lasts for 2-3 weeks. As the first choice of medication, other drugs used to treat urinary tract infections, such as furantidine, ciprofloxacin, etc., can be selected, and the effect is satisfactory. Each can be used for one week, alternating.

This article will explain in detail the methods of physical therapy for chronic prostatitis. Generally speaking, it is necessary to rest in bed. Only then can the patient restore some of his body functions. This is a hot water sitting bath, which is of certain help in the treatment of prostatitis.
