Prostatitis Treatments

1. Prostatitis Treatments for Individual Types Because of the different variations of Prostatitis, there are numerous Prostatitis treatments available to help treat these conditions. Some Prostatitis treatments can be used to help treat most problems affecting the prostate, while others are focused on treating very exact issues. Let’s quickly address the four main variations of Prostatitis, and then delve into the various treatment techniques obtainable to combat them. Pelvic Floor Myalgia (PFM) – Inflammation and bacteria are absent in this state, which is characterized by pain in the pelvic area and/or prostate. This condition is often found in those who have poor fitness levels, specifically poor posture and reconditioned abdominal muscles. This is treated with the lifestyle changes with the goal of treatment being the decrease of symptoms. Physical exercises targeting abdominal and pelvic regions are key, although any training that requires mobility in this particular region will be helpful if performed on a regular basis. Prostate massage can be helpful also. In uncommon cases where all else fails surgery is necessary. Acute Bacterial Prostatitis (ABP) – Similar to CBP as far as symptoms and causes go, ABP is characterized by much stronger and more intense symptoms than CBP. The symptoms will often progress so quickly, and be so severe that a trip to the hospital will be in order. In the most severe cases, antibiotics may need to be applied intravenously to help speed up the process of fighting off the bacteria. In less severe cases, antibiotics can be taken in pill form as with CBP. Non-Bacterial Prostatitis (NBP) – NBP has the same symptoms as CBP, though medical professionals are still unsure of what causes it. As the causes are unknown, treatment methods also vary, and are often focused on making changes to one’s lifestyle that could be contributing to the condition. Such options could include making diet changes, especially in regards to cutting out alcohol and caffeine, acupuncture, relaxation exercises, prostate massage and frequent ejaculation
