Prostatitis Treatment with Medical Leeches

Prostatitis? Only hirudotherapy!

At Leech Therapy USA in Northeast Philadelphia, Dr. Konstantin Lakeev treats chronic and acute prostatitis with hirudotherapy (medical leech therapy), a natural, holistic prostatitis treatment.

It is said that after age 30, 30% of men suffer from prostatitis; after 40, 40%; and after 50, more than 50%. These are official statistics. The real numbers may be even higher, because some men put off seeing a doctor for various reasons until the problem becomes acute, and sometimes it never does. The disease smolders deep inside, like peat under the turf.

Symptoms of prostatitis

The classic symptoms of prostatitis are fever in acute cases, pain, a frequent urge and discomfort when urinating, a pulling pain in the lower abdomen, and premature ejaculation without orgasm. Add to this the low mood that comes with these problems.

Complications of prostatitis

The complications of prostatitis are not only lower libido and sexual activity. After every flare-up (and flare-ups do happen with a cold, or even when the legs or pelvis get chilled), the urethra narrows, and there is cutting pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Recurrent cystitis, infertility, purulent prostatitis and even chronic pyelonephritis leading to kidney failure: these are other likely complications of a prostatitis that may seem "only unpleasant".

How prostatitis is usually treated

What should you do when these symptoms appear? First of all, get a diagnosis, because, unfortunately, prostate tumors, including prostate cancer, can show up in the same way. When an infection is confirmed, modern medicine prescribes strong antibiotics, plus physical therapy: heating the prostate tissue with different kinds of wave therapy, laser and magnetic therapy. Unfortunately, even with this comprehensive approach, the patient is not protected from future relapses and needs treatment several times a year.

Leech therapy for prostatitis

Hirudotherapy (medical leech treatment) has long been used for this condition and successfully solves a whole range of prostatitis problems. Practically right after the procedure, all the symptoms of prostatitis disappear. The secretion the medical leech releases has a strong resolving effect thanks to hyaluronidase. It dissolves the adhesions and scars that blocked normal nutrition and circulation in the tissues. No other treatment can achieve this the way hirudotherapy does. Thanks to this and to better microcirculation, white blood cells (leukocytes and lymphocytes) reach the site of inflammation and clear it. The effect of hirudotherapy is very lasting and has no harmful side effects on the body. It does things that other treatments cannot yet do. Hirudotherapy is not just treatment. It heals.

Why leech therapy must be done by a professional

Despite the centuries-long history of medical leeches and how simple the method looks, it of course requires a professional.

Some patients, and some people with medical education, try to apply leeches on their own or after reading about it. This is a dangerous path that can lead to complications. Unfortunately, I know that even some doctors without a certificate use leeches that are not FDA-approved on patients. Medical leeches are used only once and destroyed after the session. And ALWAYS ASK to see the PACKING LIST for the leeches delivered for YOUR treatment.

I teach the medical aspects of hirudotherapy to students in the USA and have practical experience with hirudotherapy since the 1990s.
