But long-term untreated prostatitis tends to become chronic with frequent episodes of relapse.
For the non-surgical correction of inflammatory changes in the prostate tissue, drug treatment regimens, physiotherapeutic procedures, therapeutic exercises, massage, as well as additional methods of alternative medicine are used.
drug therapy
Diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory lesions of the prostate glandUrologist. If a man discovers the first symptoms of this disease, he is advised immediatelyundergo a comprehensive examination.
In 45-50% of cases diagnosed with prostatitis, the inflammatory lesion of the prostate gland is infectious in nature. That is why antibacterial agents are used to affect the cause of the disease.
For the treatment of chronic or acute infectious prostatitisIt is preferable to use antibiotics of the fluoroquinolone group. This type of antibacterial agent has increased bioavailability and high penetration into prostate tissue.
The total duration of antibiotic therapy for infectious prostatitis is at least 3 months.
If antibacterial therapyDrugs from the group of fluoroquinolones proved ineffective, patients are prescribed drugs from the group of lincosamides or penicillins.
In case of provoking chlamydial diseaseAntibiotics of the tetracycline group are included in complex therapy.
It is important to remember that the regimen of taking antibacterial drugs is prescribed for each man individually. The urologist should draw up a treatment plan. Trying to self-prescribe medications and their dosages can lead to negative results.

- Suppositories based on prostate extract. This variant of the drug is effective for sexual disorders arising on the background of inflammatory lesions of the prostate. In addition, these suppositories effectively deal with swelling in the gland and prevent the formation of blood clots.
- Rectal suppositories with prostate extract and solid fat. This complex drug is effective not only against prostatitis, but also against diagnosed male infertility, erectile dysfunction and prostate adenoma.
Hormonal drugs
It is one of the most common complications of prostatitisReduced erectile functionin a man. To restore it and normalize the hormonal level, as well as to reduce the intensity of the development of the inflammatory process, men with inflammatory lesions of the prostate are often prescribed hormonal drugs.
The most popular drug is based on synthetic estrogen of non-steroidal structure. Under the influence of this biologically active compound, the recovery processes of the damaged gland tissue are accelerated and its blood supply is improved.
alpha blockers
Men with acute or chronic prostatitis have serious problems with urination. With an inflammatory lesion of the prostate gland, the process of emptying the bladder becomes difficult, pain, discomfort, intermittent flow of urine and frequent urge to urinate appear.
Medicines from the group of alpha-blockers, whichHelps eliminate muscle spasm in the pelvis. It is thanks to the relaxation of the smooth muscles that normalization of urination occurs.
Muscle relaxants
With the development of an inflammatory process in the prostate gland, pelvic floor muscles often spasm, as a result of which the secretion of the prostate and the outflow of urine from the bladder are disturbed.
Use of injectable or tablet forms of muscle relaxantsHelps reduce muscle tone, reduce pain and normalize the flow of biological fluids.
immunostimulants
An important part of the complex treatment of prostatitis is strengthening the defense of the male body, especially when it comes to infectious and inflammatory damage to the prostate tissue.
It has a strong immunostimulating effectComplex multivitamin preparationsContains folic acid, vitamin C, magnesium, calcium, selenium and zinc.
Another common drug from the group of immunostimulators is a product based on meglumine acridone acetate. The immunostimulatory action of this drug is due to the fact that upon entering the human body, the production of interferon, which is responsible for the body's immune protection, is accelerated.
Taking an immunostimulator and multivitamin complexes can not only speed up recovery in acute prostatitis, but also reduce the risk of another recurrence of the chronic form of the disease.

Massage is performed in the anus area. During the massage, the doctor or the man himself should monitor the discharge of glandular secretions from the urethra. If there is no such discharge, it may indicate the development of complications of prostatitis, as well as the severity of the inflammatory reaction.
The total number of prostate massage sessions is 10-12 procedures.

In addition to hirudin, leech saliva contains histamine-like compounds, acetylcholine, and carboxypeptidase inhibitors. Each of these components improves blood flow to the prostate gland, which helps reduce the inflammatory response.
Hirudotherapy in the complex treatment of prostatitis is contraindicated for men suffering from anemia, blood coagulation disorders, diathesis, hypotension, deep vein thrombosis, diabetes mellitus and inflammatory skin lesions.
