Many men do not have a clear picture of what prostate treatment involves and therefore they do not know how to approach the issue. Prostatis is often associated with prostate cancer, but there are other circumstances that can lead to or be a precursor to prostitis. For this reason it is not uncommon for prostate to occur after prostate cancer surgery.
The most common reason for prostitis is bacterial infections. If you are a man who has had regular sex with an infected woman, you are more likely to develop bacterial prostatitis, than men who have had no sexual contact with women. Bacterial prostatitis is normally treated using antibiotics, and the problem usually goes away within a few weeks. In very severe cases the infection can lead to a form of sepsis, in which fluid leaks from the prostate into the urinary tract.
If the bacterial infection is very severe, doctors may use an injection of a corticosteroid into the pituitary gland, to reduce the inflammation and give you relief from the pain. However, in very acute cases, where the infection is very persistent, the doctor might have to perform surgery, called prostectomy, remove the inflamed pituitary gland. Prostatitis can also be caused by fungal infections.
One of the most common reasons for prostate is vasculitis, or an infection of the joints. This can be caused by the same things that cause bacterial prostatitis, such as antibiotics and vasoconstrictors. Often, the treatment for vasculitis is anti-inflammatory drugs such as cortisone and aspirin, combined with a vasoconstrictor such as warfarin. Once the inflammation has gone away, the joints will become gradually less mobile, until the condition becomes permanent. Surgery is required if this is the case.
The most common pelvic floor therapy for prostatitis is antibiotics, and this works in most cases. However, in very acute cases, when the infection has not gone away after a week or so or there is a recurrence each time the medication is tried, then other methods of treatment are needed. In such cases, the doctor will probably prescribe amoxicillin or a carbamide antibiotic. These are usually given intravenously and are very effective. However, women who have not had sexual intercourse should not take this kind of medication, because it can cause an allergic reaction in them. Other options are available, such as a long course of metronidazole, or a topical cream that contains an anti-fungal agent like erythromycin or clindamycin.
If there is excessive swelling, then it could be that your infection is more serious than it looks. In such cases, the only way to ensure that it is cured is by treating it quickly. If the infection is caused by an abnormal bacterial growth, then the only method of treatment is to remove the growth and treat the infection. However, if it is a yeast infection, then there is no need to worry. To get adetailed overview of this topic, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_prostatitis.
