Many men do not undergo prostatitis therapy, explaining this by the lack of time to visit the clinic, the unsatisfactory conditions of state medical institutions, or simply the reluctance to use the services of a doctor for such matters. In this article, you'll learn how treating prostatitis at home can quickly alleviate this nasty disease.
In recent decades, the incidence of prostate inflammation and the number of men suffering from this disease has increased dramatically. The medical research data is very disappointing: various forms of gland inflammation are diagnosed in almost half of the forties of age.
And if earlier, with characteristic complaints of prostatitis, as a rule, people approaching fifty turned to doctors, but now the age limit of the disease has significantly decreased, and more and more patients are only thirty years old.
Also, these are just the numbers that official medical statistics have, but in reality everything is much worse. After all, very few people do not try with their last strength not to pay attention to their indisposition, but to consult a doctor in time, so often the presence of prostatitis is already found in the hospital, where a man ends up due to serious complications that arose. This can be explained by the fact that the initial stages of the disease are often asymptomatic or associated with minor discomforts, which can be tolerated.
But even if a man decides to go to a urologist, finds out about his diagnosis and the necessary course of therapy, then most likely he will be treated with care only until the acute symptoms are removed and the condition does not normalize. The traditional exhortations of doctors that, say, this is far from everything, the treatment must be continued even if the painful symptoms have already subsided or even disappeared completely, that if you do not finish the treatment the disease will return, etc. - for most patients, nothing more than an empty jolt of air. The main reason why the therapeutic course does not end is the total workload and lack of time even to hammer a nail at home, and not go to the clinic.
The decision on the possibility of self-treatment of prostatitis can only be made by a doctor, after an examination, the necessary tests and the appointment of drug therapy. In addition, the specialist should regularly monitor the patient and follow the course of treatment.
Imagine an ideal (well, or almost ideal) picture: at the first warning symptoms, a man went to the doctor, underwent all examinations and examinations, diligently follows all recommendations and is carefully treated. So far, everything is going well, he gradually feels better and better, in the end, he seems to be making a full recovery.
But the doctor says you still need to take medicine, take a course in physical methods, etc. All of this takes time, which is already sorely needed. But, according to the expert, if the therapy is not completed, sooner or later a relapse will occur. What to do when there is absolutely no opportunity to regularly visit the clinic, but you need to be treated? With the exception of acute cases, it is possible to successfully treat prostatitis in men at home, which will be discussed.
How to get rid of prostatitis at home: effective ways
To begin with, we once again focus on the fact that you can start self-treatment at home only after the attending doctor has answered all the questions about your condition: what form of disease do you have and whether this or that treatment is possible. with it, how the recovery process proceeds and at what stage it is, what exactly needs to be done to get rid of the disease completely.
