Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason is that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in the daily life of men. Overall, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complicated process, which consists of a complex of procedures, medications, therapies and massages. To achieve remission of the disease and help avoid the painful symptoms of prostatitis, antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, painkillers and drugs that strengthen the immune system are useful.
Methods of treating prostatitis with drugs
Several methods are usually recommended for the treatment of the prostate, namely:
- Candles.Applied rectally, affects prostate metabolism. For 30-40 minutes after application, it is recommended to remain in a lying position. The course lasts from five to ten days. Contraindications: sensitivity to the components of suppositories. Possible side effects: allergies (itching and burning).
- Injections against prostatitis.The drugs also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillations.This type of therapy allows the drug to be delivered directly to its destination - the drug is administered through the external opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject about 5 ml of the drug mixture, while the bladder must be emptied before the procedure.
- Microclysters.This method is often called "folk" because of the use of infusions and decoctions of medicinal plants commonly used in traditional medicine. It is based on temperature and simultaneous medicinal effects, which enhances its effectiveness. As a rule, it is recommended to perform microclysters before going to bed - so that after the procedure the prostate does not succumb to tension and possible hypothermia. As medicines, water infusions of sage, calendula, chamomile, motherwort are used. The solution is injected into the rectum (in an amount not exceeding 100 ml), where it should be absorbed. Microclysters are usually used in parallel with treatment with antibacterial drugs.
- Tablets for the treatment of prostate.Most often, for the treatment of a disease such as prostatitis, broad-spectrum antibacterial agents are used, especially if the causative agent of the disease has not been identified. These drugs can be divided into three groups: drugs of the tetracycline group, drugs of the penicillin series, drugs of the fluoroquinolone group.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let us dwell in more detail on the last group of drugs for the treatment of prostatitis.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively recently developed antibacterial agents. For this reason, they have quite a number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Drugs of this group practically do not cause immunodeficiency in patients. Representatives of fluoroquinolones have an even wider range of effects on microorganisms.
Preparations from the group of tetracyclines are used as an antibacterial treatment of prostatitis somewhat less frequently than fluoroquinolones. Usually, specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. With a non-infectious form, the method of treatment remains controversial and little explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are prescribed not immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient for infection. During this period, symptomatic treatment is usually recommended, which is aimed at combating inflammatory processes and painful symptoms.
Antibiotic treatment lasts about four weeks or more with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient's condition. In the absence of a positive result of treatment, antibacterial drugs are refused, but no earlier than after two weeks of the course.
After successful antibiotic therapy, a sufficiently long period of good health can be achieved in the patient. However, as a rule, painful sensations return over time, therefore treatment with antibacterial drugs alone should not be considered sufficient. Good results are obtained by a therapeutic program aimed at increasing the local and general resistance of the organism to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can count on success, or at least on a long remission.
Prostatitis: what to ask at the pharmacy?
Next, I would like to draw attention to drugs for the treatment of prostate cancer, which today have gained popularity in the market and are the most purchased drugs for prostatitis.
Herbal preparation with sabal palm fruit extract. The drug is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia of the first and second stages, as well as chronic prostatitis. Directions for use: Take one capsule a day after meals, drink plenty of liquid, do not chew. Contraindications: sensitivity to components. Side effects: gastralgia (occurs quite rarely). If we evaluate the experience and feedback of patients, today the tool is the most purchased.
Medicine produced in the form of injections and suppositories. It has an organotropic effect on the prostate. The drug normalizes the processes of spermatogenesis and microcirculation, increases the tone of the muscles of the bladder. Indications for use: chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma, etc. Side effects in the form of allergic reactions are possible. The drug is not the most expensive in price, it treats and not only relieves symptoms, is not purely chemically synthesized, overdose has not been studied.
The most important thing that every man should know is that you should immediately contact a urologist when the first signs of prostatitis appear. The specialist will determine the necessary treatment, select the best drug for you and prescribe an effective treatment.
