Microclysters for prostatitis are very effective procedures, because in this way substances are best delivered to the tissues of the prostate gland. Another advantage is the possibility of conducting it at home. Often prescribed as part of complex therapy. Many very affordable components can be used to prepare the liquid. To prepare a composition for microenemas, you need to check with your doctor about the dosage and substances used.
How it works
Treatment of prostatitis with enemas can have the following positive effects:
- inhibition of the inflammatory process;
- destruction of pathogenic microflora;
- elimination of painful sensations;
- acceleration of tissue regeneration;
- reducing the likelihood of a tumor;
- stimulation of the immune system.
Therapeutic enemas for prostatitis are effective because beneficial substances are absorbed in close proximity to the affected tissues. With inflammation of the prostate gland in the pelvic organs, poor blood flow is detected, which means that drugs that enter the body orally, intramuscularly or intravenously will not be sufficiently effective. Another advantage of using an enema for prostatitis is that natural and synthetic substances do not enter the gastrointestinal tract, because the action of antibiotics inhibits the beneficial microflora of these organs and negatively affects the mucous membrane.
Microclysters for prostate adenoma and prostatitis can be performed for both therapeutic and preventive purposes. In addition, the procedure does not necessarily require a trip to the hospital and can be performed independently at a convenient time at home. However, the appropriateness of such therapy and its composition should be discussed with your doctor.
Contraindications
There are a number of restrictions on the use of enemas:
- Acute phase of the inflammatory process of the gland.
- The presence of malignant tumors in the rectum and prostate.
- Damage to the rectum or anus, including hemorrhoids.
- Intestinal microflora disorders.
Compositions
The composition of microenemas for prostatitis is selected individually, depending on the indications, form and stage of the pathology, taking into account contraindications and other factors.
There are various options for microclyster formulations containing:
- antibiotics;
- herbal decoctions;
- oils and extracts;
- other substances (for example, milk, soda, hydrogen peroxide, sea salt).
With antibiotics
Compositions with antibacterial drugs help eliminate inflammation most effectively. The most commonly used antibiotic enema for prostatitis is:
- Dimexide;
- Antipyrine;
- Doxycycline;
- Tsiprolet A;
- Ofloxacin;
- Levomycetin.
The composition may include several types of antibiotics and clean water or herbal decoction. It is prepared as follows:
- Half a tablet of Tsiprolet A is crushed to powder.
- Take 50 ml of chamomile decoction.
- Antibiotic powder is added to it and mixed thoroughly.
- 5 ml of Dimexide is added.
Drugs and their dosages must be previously agreed with the attending physician.
With herbs
Enemas for prostatitis with folk remedies are selected depending on the medicinal properties of plants. To do this, take about 15 g (1 level tablespoon) of dry plant material, add 250 ml of boiling water and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. You can also add antibiotics to them, for example, Dimexide, at a rate of 1 to 10, or combine several herbs. If you use alcohol infusions rather than dry material, then it must be diluted in water in a proportion of 5 ml per 100 ml of water, because they irritate the intestines more strongly.
Herbal enemas for prostatitis are most often done:
- with chamomile;
- calendula;
- oak bark;
- St. John's wort;
- sage;
- yarrow;
- agave;
- motherwort;
- aloe.
With oils
To use them, use pure oil, not diluted with water, a volume of about 30-50 ml. Microclysters with oils are most often done:
- with eucalyptus;
- pumpkin;
- sunflower;
- sea buckthorn;
- castor;
- peach.
How is the procedure performed?
Before carrying out the main procedure, it is necessary to give a cleansing enema. For this, about 200-250 ml of water is used. The procedure is repeated until the outlet water is relatively clean.
For one microenema session, about 50 ml of liquid is taken with a temperature slightly higher than the human body (38-40 degrees). Substances begin to be absorbed into tissues after at least 30 minutes, so complete absorption will take about an hour. This time should be spent lying down and holding the liquid in yourself (this is not difficult, because a small amount of liquid is used). The course of microenemas for prostatitis should not exceed 7 days. Otherwise, you can harm the intestines and beneficial microflora. The next course can be repeated no earlier than 14 days later.
