Help for acute prostatitis
The prostate can become inflamed very strongly and quickly, then it is customary to speak of the acute course of the disease. For men, it is difficult to endure characteristic pain attacks, so you need to know what to do in this situation.

- stagnation of urine and rupture of the bladder;
- development of an abscess.
Only specialists can prescribe adequate and correct treatment aimed at relieving an acute attack. Before the arrival of doctors, it is recommended to take an antispasmodic or pain reliever.

Duration of therapy
Effective treatment of all forms of prostatitis depends on timely diagnosis of the pathology, the qualifications of the attending physician and the treatment prescribed by him. But the most important condition is whether the patient himself will help himself?
How quickly it recovers depends solely on the patient; its main tasks are:

Are exotic techniques useful?
How else can you get rid of prostatitis? The techniques are so diverse that you can find the most amazing methods.
Ants
- These insects are able to overcome inflammation of the prostate thanks to the carboxylic acid released after the bite.
- This substance increases tissue trophism and activates blood circulation in the prostate.
- Common black ants, widespread in our region, are suitable for therapy. The disease can be treated in this way only during the period of remission and in the absence of allergy to carboxylic acid.
famine
Therapeutic fasting helps activate metabolic processes, which leads to: a reduction in subcutaneous fat; weight loss, elimination of excess fluid and toxins.
In this way, a general curative effect is achieved, but in the fight against prostatitis, such methods are not enough.
According to doctors, patients suffering from prostate inflammation should follow the principle of proper nutrition. It is better to remove harmful foods from your diet than to completely abandon food, even for a few days.
According to Neumyvakin
- Dr. Ivan Pavlovich Neumyvakin offers treatment for prostatitis with baking soda and hydrogen peroxide.
- These inexpensive remedies, accessible to Russian patients, can easily be purchased at a pharmacy or supermarket; the alarming fact is that they must be taken orally, most often on an empty stomach.
According to doctors, the declared therapeutic effect is rarely observed, and harmful effects on the mucous membranes of the digestive tract are common. Therefore, before resorting to exotic methods, consult a urologist or find real reviews of patients who have followed them.
Acupuncture
- Impact on acupuncture points of the body activates the synthesis of special substances that trigger a mechanism to combat inflammatory processes. According to representatives of oriental medicine, acupuncture will cure a disease and eliminate its cause.
- Doctors believe that reflexology, as the basis of treatment, will not allow treating pathology, but as part of complex treatment it can activate the body's hidden reserves and speed up recovery.
Hirudotherapy
- Treatment with leeches is relevant because. . . is based on blood renewal.
- According to medical data, a third of the volume of biological fluid in the body is in reserve - subcutaneous capillaries, and is not used in the general blood circulation.
- A leech bite allows this fluid reserve to be eliminated, and the reduction in its volume activates the renewal processes. The result is improved blood supply to all parts of the body.
Hirudotherapy is one of the effective methods of alternative treatment, but leeches must be administered by a specialist. This will allow you to achieve a therapeutic result and will not lead to complications.
