Prostatitis or male perineum inflammation is a catch-all term used for most acute and chronic pelvic pain in men (women don’t have a prostate). It is characterized by an inflammation of the prostate gland and/or the surrounding pelvic structures and is often accompanied by short and infrequent but excruciatingly painful flare-ups.
A doctor will help you identify the type and severity of your condition. There are also effective supplement plans, that can provide results in as little as a week. Call our office for more information on these effective options.
Our 30-day natural supplement plan is guaranteed to improve discomfort in the first week. If your symptoms are advanced, you may take longer than a week.
The inflammation itself can cause pain in and around the area of the prostate, as well as referred pain to other areas around the pelvis. It can also result in swollen perineum male area or enlargement of the prostate gland, which can weaken urination and ejaculation.
The most common symptoms of prostatitis include:
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), there are 4 classifications of prostatitis:
It’s important to allow a doctor to diagnose the type and severity of your condition. You can prepare for your visit and help with the diagnosis by answering the following questions in advance:
Eliminate bacterial infections. Both acute and chronic bacterial prostatitis (Types I and II) can be treated with antibiotics. Your health care provider will know if this is the right course of treatment for you.
Reduce inflammation. Since prostatitis is an inflammatory condition, reducing systemic (whole body) inflammation should help reduce its painful effects. An anti-inflammatory diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Potent anti-inflammatory supplements include fish oil, curcumin, boswellia, and cat’s claw.
Supplements and nutrients. Quercetin and flower pollen extract have both been shown to be effective treatments for chronic prostatitis (Type III). Antibiotics may be recommended for bacterial prostatitis.
Optimize androgen:estrogen ratio. This can be accomplished by increasing low testosterone, reducing elevated estrogens, or both.
Chronic pain therapy. The goal of these therapies is to reduce the incidence and intensity of painful flare-ups. Chronic pain therapies include the following:
