Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. And the reason for this is that the factors that lead to the development of prostatitis are very common in the everyday life of men. By and large, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complicated process, consisting of a complex of procedures, drugs, therapy and massage. To achieve remission of the disease and avoid the painful symptoms of prostatitis, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and drugs that strengthen the immune system will help.
Methods of treating prostatitis with drugs
Several methods are usually recommended for treating the prostate, namely:
- candles.Applied rectally, they influence the metabolism in the prostate. For 30-40 minutes after application, it is recommended to stay in a supine position. The course lasts 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 makes it possible to deliver the drug 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 needs to 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 the simultaneous effect of temperature and healing, which increases its effectiveness. As a rule, it is recommended to do microclysters before bedtime - so that after the procedure the prostate does not succumb to tension and possible hypothermia. Water infusions of sage, calendula, chamomile and motherwort are used as medicines. 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 the prostate.Most often, to treat such a disease as prostatitis, broad-spectrum antibiotics are used, especially if the causative agent of the disease has not been identified. Such drugs can be divided into three groups: drugs of the tetracycline group, drugs of the penicillin series, drugs of the fluoroquinolone group.
Antibiotics used to treat prostatitis
Let us dwell in more detail on the last group of drugs used to treat prostatitis.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively newly developed antibacterial agents. Because of this, they have a number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Drugs of this group practically do not cause immunodeficiency in patients. Representatives of the fluoroquinolones have an even broader spectrum of action on microorganisms.
Preparations of the tetracycline group are used a little less often than fluoroquinolones for the antibacterial treatment of prostatitis. Usually specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. In a non-infectious form, the method of treatment remains controversial and not fully explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not prescribed immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient to determine infection. During this period, symptomatic therapy is usually recommended, aimed at combating inflammatory processes and pain 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 not earlier than two weeks from the start of the course.
After successful therapy with antibiotics, a sufficiently long period of good health can be achieved in the patient. However, as a rule, the painful sensations return over time, so treatment with antibacterial drugs alone should not be considered sufficient. Good results are obtained with a therapy program aimed at increasing the body's local and general resistance to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can count on success, or at least a long remission.
Prostatitis: what to ask at the pharmacy?
Next, I would like to draw attention to drugs for the treatment of the prostate, which have gained popularity on the market today and are the most commonly 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. Recommended dosage: Take one capsule daily after meals, drink plenty of liquid, do not chew. Contraindications: sensitivity to components. Side effects: gastralgia (occurs very rarely). If we evaluate the experience and feedback from patients, the tool is the most purchased today.
A drug that is produced in the form of injections and suppositories. It has an organotropic effect on the prostate. The drug normalizes spermatogenesis and microcirculation processes, increases the tone of the bladder muscles. 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, it not only treats and relieves symptoms, it is not synthesized purely chemically, overdose has not been studied.
The most important thing that every man should know is that at the first sign of prostatitis, you should immediately contact a urologist. The specialist determines the necessary therapy, selects the best drug for you and prescribes an effective treatment.
