The male genital system is prone to the development of inflammatory processes associated with the impact of pathogenic microflora on the tissues of the organs. Failure to follow the rules of hygiene, unprotected sex, weakened immunity, lack of regular sports activities - all this provokes the development of stagnation and inflammation in the prostate gland.
Symptoms of acute prostatitis are the basis of emergency medical care, while the chronic form of the disease requires constant monitoring.
Treatment of various forms of prostatitis
At present, doctors use certain regimens to treat inflammatory prostate disease. The choice of medication largely depends on the form of prostatitis and the degree of manifestation of its symptoms.
In acute inflammation, fast-acting drugs with antibacterial properties have been shown.
The doctor should prescribe treatment after examination and determination of the type of microorganisms that led to the development of prostatitis. Sometimes, with severe symptoms, antibacterial drugs are prescribed upon contact with the patient. In the future, after receiving the results of the laboratory analysis, the urologist may prescribe another medication to treat prostatitis.
The basis for prescribing this or that type of antibiotic is the results of microbiological culture.
If the acute form of the disease is treated relatively quickly, then therapy for chronic prostatitis can be continued for up to six months. Typically, the doctor prescribes the full range of medications that should be taken according to a compiled schedule. It is important to remember that the prostate gland can become inflamed repeatedly during chronic disease, so patients should visit their doctor regularly and take the course of treatment prescribed after the second examination.
Treatment for prostatitis is selected according to the severity of the signs of the disease and its causes. Inflammation should be treated with medications aimed at reducing symptoms, which are usually manifested by urinary problems, pain syndrome, and a deterioration in sexual quality of life. If the prostatitis medication is selected correctly, the patient after a week notices a decrease in pelvic discomfort and a reduction in the volume of discharge from the urethra, normalizing urinary outflow.
The rapid action of the product does not guarantee its best effectiveness.
Many prostatitis medications reduce the incidence of the disease in a fairly short period of time, so patients find them most effective. In fact, this is not entirely true because not all medications can eliminate the cause of the disease.
The drug prescribed for prostatitis should be selected after the detection of provoking factors.
Conducting antibiotic therapy
Before using a prostatitis medicine with antibacterial properties, the patient should undergo an examination, which includes not only an external examination, but also a study of blood, semen, urine, bacterioscopy from a smear from the urethra. The result of the analysis allows the urologist to accurately determine the choice of antibacterial drug. If several types of microbes are detected simultaneously, the prescribed course should consist of two or more drugs.
When two antibiotics are prescribed, they can be prescribed in different ways, for example, in the form of injections and tablets.
Antibiotic therapy is mandatory in acute prostatitis. With mild symptoms of the disease, antibiotics are prescribed to prevent infection. The urologist decides which medications the patient should take after receiving the test record.
The modern approach to the treatment of acute inflammatory disease of the prostate involves the use of antibiotics for a week and a half. The treatment regimen for the chronic form is drawn up over a longer period of time - about two months.
A drug containing levofloxacin in it well relieves inflammation. This substance can rapidly accumulate in affected tissues and destroy streptococci and staphylococci. The drug is very effective, but can cause side effects on the part of the digestive tract and cardiovascular system.
Before starting the drug treatment, you should carefully study the side effects described in the annotation and the rules for taking the tablets.
The tablet should be taken only after a meal, otherwise the gastric and intestinal mucosa may be irritated. If this drug for prostatitis causes a severe deterioration in well-being, it is best to consult a doctor.
In chronic inflammation of the prostate has a good effect on the drug, which acts on different types of pathogens.
Serious disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, including the liver, can be detected on the background of taking the drug, so doctors recommend increasing the course of treatment with hepatoprotectors. In case of adverse reactions of the organism, the urologist changes the scheme according to which prostatitis is treated in men and the medication is chosen according to the existing pathologies.
The drug, which belongs to the group of macrolides, is effective against the simplest microorganisms - mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia.
A number of macrolide and cephalosporin preparations are used to detect chlamydia and mycoplasmosis. The use of the penicillin group is also justified in the treatment of prostate disease.
Anti-inflammatory drugs
After the examination, the doctor decides which anti-inflammatory drug to prescribe to the patient. The active components of the joints help to restore the urination process and reduce pain.
You should consult your doctor about which medications relieve pain and swelling. In chronic inflammation is currently used with great success the drug, which increases the blood supply to the gland, prevents thrombosis, relieves swelling and improves the urinary process. The main component of the remedy is bovine prostate. It helps to increase potency, normalize microcirculation in the genitals and reduce the symptoms of inflammation. Many new drugs developed for the treatment of prostatitis contain this animal component with proven effectiveness by urologists.
As an auxiliary component, the drug contains the most important trace element for the male body, zinc, which helps restore potency, often reduced in chronic prostatitis. Candles can be used to treat hemorrhoids and damage to the intestinal mucosa.
Medications with analgesic effect
The pain that arises during the exacerbation of the disease facilitates the removal of drugs with analgesic effects.
The nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug has a good effect, which quickly penetrates the prostate gland and has an analgesic effect.
During inflammatory processes accompanied by serious problems with urinary outflow, urologists prescribe muscle relaxants that help relax the muscles of the prostate and bladder and restore urination. The drug is also used in hypertension, with a tendency to low blood pressure and impaired liver function, it is contraindicated.
Folk ways
Doctors do not deny the effectiveness of folk recipes in the treatment of prostatitis. Various decoctions can be used to reduce inflammation and relieve pain. Chamomile, St. John's wort, thiamine are used for heaviness and discomfort in the pelvis. It is useful to add honey to ready-made medicinal drinks.
From the extracts of the same plant you can make therapeutic ointments, baths. Before the procedure it is useful to add 5-8 drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil in the water collected in the container. Sometimes doctors recommend taking baths with coniferous concentrate. It is not necessary to allow hypothermia during prostatitis, so it is advisable to add hot water to the bath when cold. The duration of the bath is on average 20 minutes.
If you have symptoms of prostatitis, you can buy candles containing honey and propolis.
These products are very useful because they have a pronounced antiseptic effect. Some men make suppositories using wax and honey.
Various tinctures also have a beneficial effect. They are made from plants, aspen bark, propolis. Do not forget that natural ingredients can cause an allergic reaction. This method of treatment should not be used if the man has a high sensitivity to herbs. Honey is also very allergenic and should not be used if you are allergic to other bee products. If such reactions of the body are not observed, honey can be consumed in two to three tablespoons daily.
Doctors recommend prostate massage to remove the swelling. This procedure is performed with a finger inserted in the rectum or a special device, the cost of which directly depends on the number of functions. The device may be equipped with a vibrating mechanism. Such an effect is beneficial for swelling and stagnation of prostate secretion in the gland. Any medical procedure should be performed only after a thorough examination and consultation with a urologist.
