The incidence of male prostatitis is relatively high. For prostate patients, it is necessary to understand the treatment methods for male prostate. So what are the treatment methods for male prostate? Next, this article will introduce six treatment methods for male prostate for your reference. Friends who want to know what treatment methods are there for male prostate can take a look!

1. Antimicrobial treatment

The discovery of pathogenic pathogens in prostatic fluid culture is the basis for selecting antibacterial drugs for treatment. If patients with nonbacterial prostatitis have signs of bacterial infection and general treatment is ineffective, they can also be appropriately treated with antibacterial drugs.

2. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can improve symptoms. Generally, indomethacin is taken orally or in suppositories. Chinese medicine also has certain effects in using anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing, detoxifying, and hardness-softening drugs. Allopurinol can reduce the concentration of uric acid in the whole body and prostatic fluid. Theoretically, as a free radical scavenger, it can also remove active oxygen components, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain. It is an optional auxiliary treatment method.

3. Physical therapy

Prostate massage can empty the concentrated secretions in the prostate duct and drain the infection focus in the obstructed area of ​​the gland. Therefore, for stubborn cases, prostate massage can be performed every 3 to 7 days while using antibiotics. A variety of physical factors are used for prostate physiotherapy, such as microwave, radio frequency, ultrashort wave, medium wave and hot water sitz bath, which are beneficial for relaxing the prostate, posterior urethral smooth muscle and pelvic floor muscle, enhancing antibacterial efficacy and relieving pain symptoms.

4. M-receptor antagonists

M-receptor antagonists can be used to treat prostatitis in patients with symptoms of overactive bladder such as urgency, frequency, and nocturia but without urinary tract obstruction.

5. α-receptor antagonists

Patients with prostatitis, bacterial or non-bacterial prostatitis have increased tension in the prostate, bladder neck and urethral smooth muscles. During urination, the increased pressure in the posterior urethra causes urine to flow back into the prostatic duct, which is an important cause of prostatitis, prostatic stones and bacterial prostatitis. The use of α receptor antagonists can effectively improve prostatitis and urination symptoms, which is important for preventing recurrence of infection. α receptor antagonists should be used for a longer course of treatment to allow enough time to adjust the smooth muscle function and consolidate the therapeutic effect.

6. Prostate massage and heat therapy

Prostate massage is one of the traditional treatment methods. Studies have shown that proper prostate massage can promote the emptying of the prostate duct, increase local drug concentration, and thus relieve the clinical symptoms of chronic prostatitis. Heat therapy mainly uses the heat effect produced by a variety of physical means to increase blood circulation in prostate tissue, accelerate metabolism, and help to eliminate tissue edema and relieve pelvic floor muscle spasms.
