How should prostatitis be treated for painful urination? Prostatitis is a relatively common disease in men, and its occurrence can seriously affect the physical health of patients. Therefore, active and effective treatment is very important for patients with prostatitis. Patients with prostatitis may experience symptoms such as dysuria, painful urination, poor urination, urgency, and pain in urination in daily life. Therefore, how to treat painful urination in prostatitis? Let's take a closer look at this issue.
1、 Massage therapy
Self massage has a positive therapeutic effect, is easy to operate, and is easily accepted and mastered by patients. It is a very good auxiliary treatment method.
After defecation, cleaning the anus and lower rectal segment is feasible for massage treatment. The patient is placed in a chest knee or lateral position. After touching the prostate along the anterior wall of the rectum with his index finger, the doctor gently presses the prostate from the outside up to the inside down in a regular manner. At the same time, the patient is instructed to perform an anal lifting action to discharge prostate fluid from the urethral orifice and immediately urinate.
Self massage: After the patient takes a squatting position or lateral flexion position, clean the anus and lower rectal segment after defecation, press the prostate gland with their middle or index fingers in the same way as before, massage for 3-5 minutes each time, preferably with prostate fluid discharged from the urethra each time. When massaging, be sure to use gentle force. Before massaging, use soap to lubricate the fingertips to reduce discomfort. The interval between each massage treatment should be at least 3 days. If during the self massage process, prostate tenderness is evident and bladder sensation increases, it is necessary to promptly seek medical advice from a specialist clinic to avoid prostate massage in the event of an acute attack of chronic prostatitis
2、 Bathotherapy
Hip bath therapy is actually a type of physical therapy, but because it requires any medical equipment and can be operated by patients themselves at home, it is the most effective treatment method worth promoting in the family. Its gymnastics function is to pour about 40% of the water (without feeling hot with your hands) into a basin, about half a basin, and sit for 10 to 30 minutes each time. When the water temperature decreases, add an appropriate amount of hot water to keep the water at an effective temperature. One to two times a day is a course of treatment for 10 days. Appropriate aromatic traditional Chinese medicines such as Atractylodes lanceolata, Osmanthus fragrans, and Cardamom kernel can also be added to the hot water. If you introduce a prostate suppository and then take a hip bath, it can promote the absorption of drugs and improve the efficacy. It should be proposed that sitz bathing should not be used in infertile individuals who have been diagnosed as having prostatitis. This is an area where sperm belong to advanced cells and have high requirements for survival conditions. For example, the normal temperature in the scrotum should be 32 to 33 ℃. When the temperature in the scrotum rises for some reason, it can cause obstacles to sperm production, resulting in the consequences of sperm cessation, further reducing the possibility of pregnancy.
3、 Ultrasonic therapy
Ultrasound refers to vibration waves with frequencies above 20000 cycles per second that cannot cause normal human auditory responses. The commonly used frequency in clinical practice is 800, 1000 cycles per second. Medical ultrasound can improve local healing and lymphatic circulation, strengthen local metabolism, change tissue pH and alkalinity, alleviate local acidosis, and relieve or eliminate pain. Ultrasonic therapy is suitable for patients with chronic prostatitis who have obvious symptoms of urinary tract irritation and who have more white blood cells on microscopic examination of prostate fluid.
4、 Short wave therapy
It is a high-frequency current therapy that uses a current called a short wave current, with a wavelength of 10 to 100 meters, and a voltage of 90 to 120 volts during treatment. The bactericidal effect of short waves is not direct, but an indirect effect caused by the enhancement of the immune defense mechanism of the body by short waves. Short wave therapy is simple and convenient to operate. During treatment, two electrode plates are used, one placed on the buttock and one placed above the pubic bone of the lower abdomen, for 15 to 30 minutes each time, once a day, for a course of treatment of 2 weeks. This treatment is suitable for patients with acute and chronic prostatitis and those with high white blood cells on microscopic examination of the prostate.
