Many men do not undergo treatment for prostatitis, explaining that they do not have time to visit the clinic, unsatisfactory conditions of state medical institutions, or simply do not want to use the services of a doctor in such matters. In this article, you will learn how home treatment of prostatitis can quickly save you from this unpleasant disease.
In recent decades, the incidence of prostatitis and the number of men suffering from this disease have increased dramatically. The data of medical research is very disappointing: in almost half of forty-year-old people, various forms of inflammation of the gland are diagnosed.
If before with complaints characteristic of prostatitis, as a rule, people approaching the age of fifty turned to doctors, now the age limit of the disease has decreased significantly, and more and more patients are only thirty years old.
In addition, these are only figures in official medical statistics, but in reality everything is worse. After all, very few people try not to pay attention to their illness, but to consult a doctor in time, so often the presence of prostatitis is already detected in the hospital, where a person ends up due to a serious illness. complications. This can be explained by the fact that the early stages of the disease are often asymptomatic or associated with little tolerable discomfort.
However, even if a man decides to go to a urologist, learns his diagnosis and the necessary course of therapy, it is likely that he will be carefully treated only until the acute symptoms are removed and the condition normalizes. The traditional advice of doctors, they say that this is far from everything, even if the painful symptoms have already weakened or even completely disappeared, the treatment should be continued, if you do not finish the treatment, the disease will return, etc. - for most patients is nothing more than a vibration of empty air. The main reason for not completing the therapeutic course is the full load at work and the lack of time even to drive nails at home and not go to the clinic.
The decision about the possibility of self-treatment of prostatitis can be made by a doctor only after examination, necessary tests and prescription of drug treatment. In addition, the specialist must regularly monitor the patient and monitor the course of treatment.
Imagine an ideal (good or almost ideal) picture: at the first warning symptoms, a man went to the doctor, passed all the examinations and tests, diligently followed all the recommendations and was carefully treated. So far so good, he's feeling better and finally on the verge of a full recovery.
But the doctor says that it is still necessary to take medicine, undergo a course of physical methods, etc. All this takes time, which is already in short supply. However, according to the expert, sooner or later a relapse will occur if the therapy is not completed. What to do if it is not possible to visit the clinic regularly, but it is necessary to be treated? Except for acute cases, it is possible to successfully treat prostatitis in men at home, which will also be discussed.
