Prostatitis is the most common urological disease today. The reason for this is that the factors leading to the development of prostatitis are very common in the daily life of men. In general, the treatment of prostatitis is a rather complex process consisting of procedures, medications, therapy and massage. Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, analgesics, and immune-boosting aids can help you achieve remission of the disease and prevent the symptoms of prostatitis pain.
Methods of treatment of prostatitis with medication
For the treatment of prostate gland, several methods are usually recommended, namely:
- Candles.Rectal use, affects the metabolism in the prostate. It is recommended to stay in a lying position for 30-40 minutes after use. The course lasts from five to ten days. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to the components of the suppositories. Possible side effects: Allergy (itching and burning).
- Injections against prostatitis. Medications also stimulate the immune system and strengthen the vascular system.
- Instillations.This type of therapy makes it possible to deliver the drug directly to the destination - the drug is administered by external opening of the urethra. It is recommended to inject about 5 ml of the drug mixture, and the bladder should be emptied before the procedure.
- Microclysters.This method is often referred to as "folk" because infusions and decoctions of medicinal plants are often used in traditional medicine. It is based on the simultaneous temperature and healing effect, which enhances its effectiveness. It is usually recommended to have a microclister at bedtime - so that the prostate gland does not succumb to tension and possible hypothermia after the procedure. For treatment are used tinctures of sage, calendula, chamomile, mother water. The solution is injected into the rectum (not more than 100 ml), where it should be absorbed. Microencapsulations are usually used in conjunction with treatment with antibacterial agents.
- Tablets for the treatment of prostate gland.Most often, a wide range of antibacterial agents are used to treat a disease such as prostatitis, especially if the causative agent of the disease has not been identified. Such drugs can be divided into three groups: tetracycline group drugs, penicillin series drugs, fluoroquinolone group drugs.
Antibiotics for the treatment of prostatitis
Let's talk in more detail about the latest group of prostate medications.
Fluoroquinolones are modern, relatively recently developed, antibacterial agents. Because of this, they have quite a number of advantages over other broad-spectrum antibiotics. Medications in this group have virtually no immunodeficiency in patients. Representatives of fluoroquinolones have an even wider range of effects on microorganisms.
Tetracycline drugs are less commonly used for antibacterial treatment of prostatitis than fluoroquinolones. Typically, specialists prescribe antibiotics for chronic and infectious prostatitis. The method of treatment in non-infectious form remains controversial and has not been fully explored.
In the treatment of prostatitis, antibacterial drugs are not prescribed immediately, but only after the doctor examines the patient to detect infection. Symptomatic therapy aimed at combating inflammatory processes and pain symptoms is usually recommended during this period.
Antibiotic therapy lasts for about four weeks or more with mandatory clinical monitoring of the patient's condition. In the absence of a positive treatment result, antibacterial drugs should be discontinued, but not earlier than two weeks after the start of the course.
After successful therapy with antibiotics, the patient can achieve sufficiently long-lasting health. However, as a rule, the painful sensations return over time, so treatment with antibacterial agents alone should not be considered sufficient. Good results are obtained with a therapy program aimed at increasing the local and general resistance of the organism to pathogenic factors. In this case, you can count on success, or even a long remission.
Prostatitis: What should you ask at the pharmacy?
Next, I would like to focus on the prostate treatments that have gained popularity in the market today and are the most purchased medications for the treatment of prostatitis.
An herbal preparation with sage palm fruit extract. The drug is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia of the first and second stages, as well as chronic prostatitis. How to use: Take one capsule daily after meals, drink plenty of fluids, do not chew. Contraindications: Sensitivity to the components. Side effects: gastralgia (occurs quite rarely). If we value patient experience and feedback, then 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 gland. The drug normalizes the processes of spermatogenesis and microcirculation, increases bladder muscle tone. Indications for use: chronic prostatitis, prostate adenoma and others. Side effects are possible in the form of allergic reactions. The drug is not the most expensive, it cures 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 consult a urologist immediately at the first signs of prostatitis. The specialist will determine the necessary therapy, select the best drug for your case and prescribe an effective course of treatment.
