Using Painkillers For Treating Prostate Pain Increases Risk of Heart Attack
Prostate Pain is usually seen in conditions affecting the prostate gland, such as prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The pain may vary in severity and nature radiating to surrounding structures and extending to the lower back or even the tip of the penis. And it may involve a large area of the lower abdomen or the entire pelvis. For patients with severe prostate pain, doctors usually prescribe painkillers to relieve the pain and discomfort. Patients can also buy over-the-counter painkillers at drugstore.
However, a study published in the British Medical Journal suggests that regular use of commonly prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for treating pain and inflammation can increase the risk of heart attack as early as in the first week of consumption, particularly when people using such medication in high doses in the first month. Physicians and patients should consider the risks and benefits of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including ibuprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib, and naproxen.
The report also found that using NSAIDs increases the overall heart attack risk by about 20–50%, compared with the non-consumption of these drugs.
To avoid increasing the risk of heart attack, patients with prostate pain had better take a replacement of painkillers, especially for patients with chronic inflammation. In order to maximally reduce the side effects, patients can take herbal medicine to alleviate the prostate pain. There is a herbal medicine called Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is proven to be effective in treating prostate pain caused by prostatitis and BPH.
As a herbal medicine, Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is made from more than 50 types of natural herbs. In the view of TCM, the pain is caused by the blood and Qi blockage. By adding herbs with properties of improving blood and Qi flow, the prostate pain can be relieved effectively. This herbal formula won’t cause further damages to the body. Therefore, patients can have a safe treatment without any worries.
Except for reliving prostate pain, this herbal medicine can also cure other symptoms that related to prostate problems, such as urinary frequency and urgency, painful urination, difficulty urinating, weak urine flow, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, etc.
Patients with prostate pain urged to consider the risk and benefits when choosing medications for treating pain and inflammation. Since herbal medicine has no side effects during the treatment, it is a good option.
