Prostatitis is an inflammatory process that affects the prostate gland. The reason for its occurrence is not fully understood, but it is suggested that it develops hemodynamic violations in the small pelvis. According to various statistics, this disease occurs in men between 30 and 50 years old.
Signs of prostatitis in men can vary widely, but the most common are:

Complex treatment of prostatitis in men
In order for the treatment of prostatitis to be effective, it needs to be carried out over a long and complicated time, using many different means.Comprehensive treatment includes:
- drug treatment
- Treatment of prostatitis in men with folk remedies
- Physical therapy
- Collection of physics exercises
- Daily habits and proper nutrition
The amount and duration of treatment for prostatitis will depend on the form of the disease, its severity, and its course. For example, the treatment of acute prostatitis should primarily be aimed at alleviating the patient's general condition. That is, the patient must be anesthetized and stabilized first. This form of prostatitis requires hospitalization and emergency care for the patient. And the treatment of chronic prostatitis is aimed at prolonging the period of remission (the period when the symptoms of the disease are significantly weakened). Patients with this type of disease can be treated for prostatitis at home, and only during an exacerbation can they be treated at medical facilities. With an exacerbation of the disease, the patient necessarily undergoes a course of prostatitis treatment with massage, which significantly alleviates the disease state and improves the function of the gland.
Which therapy to choose - traditional or folk?
Now many people are asking:What is better to choose - botanical therapy or drug therapy?There is no definite answer to this question, because both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
- Conventional therapy has the advantage that it is used in a targeted way. That is, it affects the infectious agent itself, destroys it, and thus stops the inflammatory process. Treatment of prostatitis at home with the help of such remedies is very convenient if the process does not have a serious course and does not require constant medical supervision. But such therapy has its limitations, because many drugs have pronounced side effects, as well as toxic effects on the body.
- Folk remedies in the treatment of prostatitis can also be widely applied. Because many male remedies have obvious anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antispasmodic and pain-relieving effects. In addition, they are generally well tolerated by patients, do not cause allergic reactions and other side effects. They can be used much longer than drug treatment and still have no toxic effects. However, their disadvantage is auxiliary. Prostatitis in men cannot be cured by folk remedies, because they do not act on a specific pathogen.
Importance!As practice shows, the most effective treatment regimens are often those that include both drugs and alternative therapies. All the elements in this program complement each other and lead to more effective prostatitis treatment.
