Prostatitis Conventional Treatment                Homeopathic Treatment for Prostate Disorders

Medication
Acute bacterial prostatitis as well as chronic bacterial prostatitis is treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. Non-bacterial prostatitis and prostatodynia is usually treated with analgesics. Stool softeners are used if the patient has constipation because this may worsen the pain of prostatitis. Treating the underlying cause (e.g., stones) relieves prostatitis symptoms.

Surgery
Surgery is the treatment option for those cases that do not respond favorably to Conventional medication. It is also recommended in those cases that carry the fear of impending complications such as:

:: Damage to the kidneys caused by the pressure of urine backing up
:: Frequent urinary tract infections
:: Inability to urinate
:: Stones in the bladder

Surgical removal of a part of the prostate gland, complete surgical removal of the prostate (Prostatectomy) and TURP (Transurethral resection of the prostate) are the commonest treatment options available. Prostatectomy is very rarely indicated for treatment of prostatitis. Severe symptoms that do not improve after all other methods of treatment have been tried are usually treated using this procedure. Patients can usually return back to their work after about 1 month after surgery. During the recovery period, patients must avoid:

:: Lifting heavy weights
:: Operating machinery
:: Driving

He must follow certain general guidelines such as:
:: Drinking plenty of water to flush the bladder effectively
:: Eat a balanced diet
:: Use laxatives to avoid constipation and straining at stools.
